| Posted: 16 Apr 2016 05:56 PM PDT David Pearson.jpg Date: October 28, 2014 Nationality: American Location: Soboba Flight Park, San Jacinto, CA USA COD: Impact Ground Ground Launching or Skiing: Ground Launching Wing Type: Ozone Fazer 2 - 8.5m² Wingloading: unknown Age: 30 Experience: unknown Beacon/Locator/Etc (Spot, inReach, Recco, GPS): unknown Description: 30 year old pilot Dave Pearson of Los Angeles was killed while attempting to do so some barrel rolls. With around 1½ to 2 years pilot experience and having done the maneuvers many times before, on this flight his glider suffered a collapse at a critical moment which put him in to a locked-in spiral before crashing into the ground. The accident was reported at 10:15am by Riverside County Fire Department officials. Below is Troy Hartman's official report to USHPA *** The pilot was flying a Fazer2 8.5m. This was a new wing and his first flight on it. His current wing was a Fazer2 10m. The time of the flight was 10:10am and conditions were light with straight in winds of 2-3 mph. The pilot launched from 1500' agl and flew straight out for about 20 seconds, gaining a few hundred feet of clearance from the ground. Witnesses stated that at this point he made a slight left turn followed by an attempt at a barrel roll to the right. Witness accounts indicate that the wing went into an immediate, fully developed spin to the right with the inside half of the wing collapsed along the trailing edge. After approximately one turn of the spin, the wing re-inflated and surged forward, immediately entering a spiral dive. This spiral dive remained until impact. The pilot died at the scene. The pilot was wearing a wrist-mounted GoPro. No video was recovered from the camera since it was in photo mode. The photos on the memory card clearly indicate that the pilot was adjusting the camera (likely to switch from photo to video mode) seconds before the loss of control. Without clear video of the pilot and wing, no conclusion can be made as to what exactly happened. It can be surmised however that attempting an advanced maneuver within the first 20 seconds of flight on a new wing is a significant contributing factor. It is also likely that the pilot's diversion of attention to the camera compounded this somewhat. The pilot was not wearing a reserve, which could have changed the outcome. http://www.pe.com/articles/jacinto-7...san-crash.html Details will follow after investigation. * If anyone has additional information, and images we can use for this entry, please contact us. sffl-footer footer SFFL |

The group of 5 friends headed up the northwest side of the mountain for their Hike & Fly mission. At the launch site two mini wing Little Cloud Kangoos successfully flew off minutes before. Jeff was the first of the smaller wings to fly. I flight the right edge of his wing caught a tree and slammed him into a rock face followed by a 600-foot fall. Police received a 911 call at approximately 4:30 pm. We are still unsure as to how or why he clipped the tree with his wingtip. Possibly related to an aggressive turn or with him getting in trouble with glide path required to clear terrain. Equipment failure was not an issue. He was a member of the Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association of Canada and was loved by Everyone. Right wingtip clipped a tree and he impacted the rock cliff. Making glide may have also been a factor. http://www.squamishchief.com/bertoia...iend-1.1046140 http://www.piquenewsmagazine.com/whi...nt?oid=2476843 Details will follow after investigation. * If anyone has additional information, and images we can use for this entry, please contact us. sffl-footer footer SFFL |

Cause of the accident is not known, but at that time the 1807 meters high Buochserhorn has downdrafts and tailwinds. The investigating authorities examined the glider and found there was no trace of collision with the cablecar ropeway. Given the fact that his body was found directly below the SouthWest side of the launch site near the ridge, it must be assumed that he was not flying following a failed launch ?
