Here is the continuation of the small videos that we could make:
1) Final approach to my baptism (not easy, it was shaking a little):

Here's the kind of thing that paragliding champions can do: http://www.coupe-icare.org/videos-2007.html
See the first video, the other is more fun but less impressive.
There are also delta, swift and wingsuit on the videos!

I put the videos on Dailymotion (not on econoTV in my personal account).
Otherwise the world champion is no longer he was beaten at Saint Hilaire last year ...

To answer andrés at the level of G in paragente, by doing myself, it happened to me once to make 360 one can be too much to engage.
When I looked at my vario at the landing (which integrates all 15 s) it indicated -20.6 m / s. I had started the figure around 1300m and I came out at 750m. I didn't have to do more than 4 or 5 laps.
The 4g I think we were largely exceeded because I could not hold my head straight and I felt the board of my harness twist and break (against plating 6mm). a pilot who does acrobatics said that at such a descent value in 360, we are about 120km on a trajectory after 15m of surrounding lines.
In any case that day I made myself a hell of a scare and now I am more shy on the 360.
otherwise as an indication the paraglider sails are tested at 8 or 12g depending on the models and classification. Here is the load test of a sail which will tear all in the next months

Good evening everyone!
I am a paraglider, a little experienced now (I pass the BE) and I suggest you take a look Here .
Or we do not see that the acceleration peaks are well around 6 G (confirmed by the designer of the accelerometer that I met this fall).
By the way, this figure is not a looping (almost impossible to achieve with a current paraglider, well I never saw it!), But an infinite tumbling (several loops stabilized by the front) invented by Raul himself ( that's him on the video).
@taramop:
I confirm, we can descend to 120 km / h and -20 m / s on a trajectory in 360 engaged, but not after 15 m of strings! rather say 8-9 m for most sails: I leave it to the math to calculate what it gives as acceleration. In any case, it's good!
Good flights to all feathered!
