The ATOS pilot mentioned above apparently touched the cliff face
with his wing tip and fell sliding down among the rocks.

A number of top pilots were drug tested after the task today. The results won't
be available for a month or more. I would love to see the results. Too much Red
Bull?

The women's championship is up in the air (no results published yet). Isomoto
went down early (it was a tough day with a low inversion). Very low scores
likely for the women and other classes also. We'll see. Weather forecast is for
poor weather tomorrow, the last flying day.

I got this note:

You have to realize that La Forclaz-Montmin seems to be the largest site in
Europe, hence the World. On a good summer day (not today), they count around
1000 flights including 600 tandems by professionals. Apparently over the landing
zone an Atos and a paraglider tandem pro collided. The paraglider had his lines
cut and threw the chute. The Atos pilot held his chute in his hands but did not
need it. So a single incident (that got reported as three), no injuries.

Seems like they are holding onto the results as this will be the last day as
after the death there will not be a flying day on Friday.

Everyone bombed out, including Manfred, except Hediger.
