I flew hang gliders for 7 years long ago and just ate this book
up. I can see how a nonflyer might get confused or bored in a few places but I
still think it is a cool testament to the status of long distance hang glider
record attempts. It was also good to read the effects of vertigo when you fly
into a cloud and know I am not the only one that did this and it scared the hell
out of us both. I did approach getting out differently as a hang glider is
inherently stable so I just let go of the bar and it went level (I hoped) and
when I finally exited I was wings level. I could not tell you how long I was in
the cloud or which way was which. Disorientation was total. Glider performance
increase was also well highlighted and has been extreme. The accident where the
guy died due to to a safety pin for the parachute not being pulled showed how it
remains a very unforgiving yet spiritual endeavor. Very well written.
