Speedflying safety Tips: Essential safety tips to fly safe, with common errors & speedflying crashes & accidents.
How dangerous is Speed Flying? It's as safe, as you make it.
It's your choice if you want to push the limits of the sport, or minimize the risks to the lowest possible.

Thanks to all the people that gave me the permission to use their speedflying crash & accident clips!
And big shoutout & thanks to worst_of_speedflying   / worst_of_speedflying   who gathered together lots of Speed Flying accidents & crashs on his instagram page!


Important: The intention of this video is not to provide a guide on HOW TO speedfly, as this should only be done under certified instruction.
Instead, my aim is to share my experience and tips with you, of which things you should avoid if you're already a pilot and want to practice this sport in a safer way.
This will allow you to gain a better insight if you're already a pilot, but it will never replace a professional instruction.
