Hang Gliding
#11
Not having instructed anything nearly as dangerous as hang gliding, I'm appalled at the failure of the instructor. I have students on the track that are cinched into belts, wearing arm restraints and a full visor helmet and I quadruple check them long before we even get to the false grid to enter the race track. Something is very wrong there.

A couple of the biggest thrills that I have had was taken a "flight lesson" in a type II ultralight out of the airport in Hanna in Maui. Like sitting in a lawn chair at 3,500 feet. The other is: I have been aerobatic several times in a Grob S-2 Sail plane out of Dillingham Field in the NW corner of Oahu. The last time I did this we did a in-side loop and a split S at the top of the arc into out-side loop and as we leveled off at 3,600 feet inverted the pilot said look to the right at two o'clock. There were two hump back whales swimming about a half mile off of the coast swimming east. So there we were at 3,600 feet inverted looking up at two hump back whales swimming along in the opposite direction.
