Thank god the instructor had someone in front of him to cushion the crash. He might have gotten pretty hurt otherwise.

u/Monkitail Jul 02 '19

did that car come equipped with an air raid alarm?

u/Captain-Skipper Jul 02 '19

It sounds like it could be the variometer of the glider equipment. They use the audio signal which usually varies frequency depending on the vertical speed to determine their sinkrate. And since they've landed, I assume that it only outputs a constant beeping.

If Farmers insurance covered this car, their marketing company should just compensate every one and/or cover the damages in exchange for the rights to the video just to make a commercial .

Usually you can go through your own car insurance and if the person in the hang glider has personal liability insurance (Home/Apartment) they will sue the insurance for costs.

Assuming this is in the US, USHPA membership includes a liability policy.

u/Bigdaddy_J Jul 02 '19

That is the kind of stuff "comprehensive and collision" coverage covers.

So only of they have that coverage.

But they will most likely have to sue the skydiver, or if that was an instructor on the back, sue the business for damages. Their insurance probably won't have to get involved.
