OT: Butt-clenching video of first time hang-glider realizing he's not strapped...

onto his glider. Yikes (SPOILER: He makes it safely to the ground after 2 mintues of hanging on for dear life...).

why didn't they bank hard left and set it down ASAP?

There is a gif going around of a guy in india strapped in while jumping across a rickety bridge over a gorge. As he gets to the other side, his chord falls off revealing that the clamp was never secured and had he fallen through the planks would have been killed.

Seems like the pilot had trouble maneuvering while trying to hold onto the passenger.
