🇺🇸Cleveland (near Marietta), South Carolina, United States

Pilot flying trike at safe altitude in good weather suddenly dove to the ground without responding to radio calls. Pilot may have lost consciousness while flying. Fatal outcome.

🇺🇸United States

Pilot tucked hood into jacket before flight but wind pulled it loose during flight. Hood was sucked into airbox choking the engine. Pilot unaware of cause until reviewing 360 camera footage after safe landing.

🇺🇸United States

Pilot suffered catastrophic collapse at full speed (trims out + speed bar) at low altitude due to wing deformation caused by undetected tension knot or line misrouting. Fell approximately 85-100 feet in 4 seconds and impacted ground at 48 mph.

🇺🇸Maricopa (near Murphy and La Barca Road), United States

Pilot using a paramotor device died after crashing near a Maricopa airport early Sunday morning

🇺🇸Romeo, Michigan, United States

Pull start return was not functioning properly. After 5 minutes of flight at higher RPM, the pull start cable was caught in the belt, resulting in both the belt and pull start cable breaking, causing complete loss of thrust. Pilot killed the motor and landed without incident.

🇵🇷Ceiba, Puerto Rico

Pilot experienced motion sickness and made mistakes during landing, failed to check oscillation on final approach, landed hard and ended up in the water, resulting in major injuries

🇺🇸San Antonio, Texas, United States

Pilot stalled the wing at approximately 70 feet AGL during cruise flight and could not recover. Resulted in parachute fall and minor injury. Pilot notes that altitude was critical factor - incident would have been recoverable at higher altitude.

Pilot experienced an asymmetric collapse while testing full speedbar on a Gin Carve 2 at 2,000 ft altitude in smooth conditions. Motor died during the collapse. Pilot had stowed brakes to avoid accidental input. Successfully recovered with adequate altitude.

🇺🇸Forsyth, Illinois, United States

PPG pilot with 50 hours experience went for a second flight after conditions deteriorated from morning. At 200 feet during landing approach, a 30 MPH wind gust caused wing collapse. Pilot hit ground in harvested bean field before recovering from collapse, suffering fatal head injury.

🇺🇸LaGrange, Kentucky, United States

Pilot with less than 10 hours experience had motor power loss due to cold temperature and improper tuning after time change. Experienced rotor turbulence from trees, had to circle multiple times at low altitude while trying to find safe landing spot, flew over horses, landed 0.5 miles from intended LZ. No injuries.

🇨🇾Chalepianes, Tseri area, Cyprus

Experienced paramotor pilot suffered serious spinal injuries after frontal wing collapse at low altitude while testing a brand new Ozone Viper XC wing. The pilot, unfamiliar with the advanced wing's behavior, did not perform ground handling before first flight and had insufficient altitude to recover.

🇺🇸Beebe, Arkansas, United States

Pilot experienced engine malfunction during cruise flight. Attempted to reach landing zone over trees but was too low to clear them. Landed in tree with no pilot injuries. Wing sustained repairable damage.

🇬🇧Northern Skies HQ, Goole, United Kingdom

🇺🇸Barceloneta, Puerto Rico, United States

Pilot sustained severe hand injuries when throttle was pressed against ground during ground-start, causing unexpected power surge and propeller strike

🇫🇷Blain, France

Pilot took off from field, turned left into sun, and collided with power line cables at 8 meters altitude less than a minute after takeoff. Fatal injuries sustained.
