Pal Takats X-Alps, Acro, and what you can do to stay safe



The photo is live.


Pal Takats began flying 16 years ago in the flatlands of Budapest,
Hungary and has since created a career any pilot would envy. One of the first
Red Bull acro pilots and the man responsible for many of the current and modern
acro combinations (the Joker, Cowboy, Esfera, etc.) Pal does paramotor demos for
Red Bull at air races around the world, base jumps in his free time, founded
JustAcro.com, flies speed wings, has twice competed in the Red Bull X-Alps (he
was 8th in 2009 and 7th in 2017), is an exceptional cross country and World Cup
competition pilot but it hasn’t all been a walk in the park to get there. In
2012 Pal had an accident flying a 6M speed wing that put him in a coma and
nearly ended his life. Later the same year he demolished his knee cap making a
poor decision on landing after a base jump. What can the rest of us learn from
his mistakes and how can we eliminate a huge, huge percentage of accidents in
our sport? How paragliding schools are missing out on the foundational stuff,
the importance of ground handling and how this is leading to way too many
accidents. This talk covers a lot of ground. A fascinating discussion with a
fascinating, passionate individual.
