Comment on "Hokey smokes Bullwinkle - Hang glider/paraglider mid air"
Glider rage? in this case I think more responsibility is on the Hang glider pilot. I hope neither of these pilots were thinking that the other has the responsibility to move.- And if I remember correctly the book mentioned despite being a great hang glider pilot, he got killed by losing control of the hang glider due to rotor wash of a helicopter that was shooting a commercial with him.
