Didn't see that coming

That is no way to start your day

from the Vimeo account: ""I am very very sorry for scaring my friends there that day :-/ I was just unconscious about 10sec from impact, nothing more, thanx god.

All was my fault absolutely! I wanted to learn spiral landings, and i remembered that once someone told me to do it first over water, many times to practice exits from spiral 50m above lake, then to lover exits slowly in a lot of attempts, till i do it right. I would be happy if i did that :-/ No lake nearby, so i decided to practice a little different on our local hill. Here in video, that was the second attempt to make landing from a sharp turn(like in moment when exiting from spiral and bleeding out the energy). I wanted to do it without spiral, just from rotation that will be similar to spiral exiting. First time there was a little thermal activity so i flu more ahead from the hill and started turn a little higher, just enough to make a one and a half turn, and it was perfect landing. Then in second attempt, no hot air to lift me, so everything started closer to ground, little wind(just enough to drift me back few meters), and...no thinking about road traffic at all!!! I sow that i will hit that little slope near road pretty fast, so exited turn to "jump over" the road. And than come moment when i start thinking about traffic, but it is too late now I don't know, i was an idiot with adrenalin in blood who thought that knows everything. Icaro syndrome call it...""
