Video: A high speed thrill ride with barrel rolls, loops and and a gnarly ending – Crazy skydiver gets himself ejected from an aerobatic glider mid-flight over the Dubai desert!
“It’s the most acrobatic two seater glider ever!” according to GliderFX pilot Guy Westgate. The glider has a top speed of 175mph, and can reach G-forces of +9 to negative 6. Skydiving from a glider is definitely a unique type of exit. You don’t even have to jump, the glider pilot will ‘eject’ you and you’ll actually begin a freefall ascent (yes, upwards) at about 100mph before gravity takes over. As the freefall ascent slows, you’ll experience a stasis, momentarily suspended in the air, before beginning your descent. Insane.
