I saw that video a couple of days ago.
Absolutely terrifying. Glad the poor fellow survived.

Agree totally. The strange Thing is, the Pilot seems still to have his license 
I remember the glider flights (sailplane) when I was young. If you did not land at the intended location, there was an investigation and that even if I was traveling alone without a passenger ...

The pilot clearly knows how to glide and he learned a lesson that many others haven't.
He's now probably the safest hang glider you'll find in all of Switzerland

Well, there was one malfunction of glider in India and poor pilot, only 22, died. Passenger was safe though. They were recording the flight so one can actually see all that happened.

What a relief if they recorded everything as I died

It's good to know what failed so an additional check can be added. I am no expert in this field but if someone is and can figure it out, it will help someone in future.
Same as Blackbox on flights.

I tried that once, many years ago before tandem was available, ended up 3 metres up a tree, I think I was lucky.
Why did the pilot not try and land immediately instead of completing the course.

He only got paid if he got him to the end of the course?

Hi all,
I've just acquired an old heat accumulator to put it at our office.
I have installed a TP-Link intelligent plug into the power connection (the one that charges the device with heat), that way I can charge the accumulator only at cheap night hours and stop it's power income at the desired hours even from outside the office.
I have a small basic and super old EBERLE thermostat connected through 2x220v cables at the connectors R and LE of the heat accumulator, this thermostat opens and closes the air output of the accumulator, making it empty it's stored heat into the office only when it is needed.
Given I'm a freelance my timetable is not constant that old thermostat will keep the air flow on all day while I'm outside and also during nights...
I'd love being able to set a low temperature during night/away hours and a temperature for working hours at the office and, like in the power stage (TP-LINK intelligent plug), being able to activate/deactivate it remotely.
Which thermostat would you recommend me?
PS: A good bonus option would be having the thermostat itself far away from the heat accumulator.
Thank you very much!

Agree
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.
