Pray tell , what possesses a pilot to land in Windy Knoll when the wind is Northerly and quite strong? , i saw one as i was driving past and apparently 2 did. regardless of lack of experience, not looking at site guides, not asking advice , surely basic knowledge should be enough to know flying and landing at the lee side of any structure (never mind somewhere as large as said spineback ) will only lead to a bad ending , this time 2 got away with it.

Paragliding was a seriously dangerous sport but knowledge and great design has made it much safer. Some say fool proof.
“A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.” Douglas Adams.
