Gliders crash mid air with the first pilot managing to eject.
A pair of glider pilots had a lucky escape after their aircrafts were involved in a shocking mid air collision. One of the pilots was forced to leap out of his aircraft using a parachute before his plane plummeted to the ground. The other pilot was able to keep control of his glider and crash landed in a nearby. This is footage that I shot myself moments after he ejected.

You don't eject from a glider, just saying.
holy fuck how did he not hit one
Wow that is a ton of gliders in the frame.
Lets be honest, we would have dropped just as many profanities if we saw the midair. No complaints here thanks for sharing the video.
All those years of free education and they can only speak like morons.
Hope he was okay.
Bro! I love your accent! !!! Bloody hell! Lol awesome!
I was in that thermal a very scary sight
Looks like they need a bloody air traffic controller on duty with all those gliders.
Ya man. Shame on whoever was video taping, for not being more conscientious of their vocabulary after witnessing a DAMN PLANE CRASH!?!?! Who would be worried about their vernacular after seeing this? Seriously…..
This is why i won't fly in this country now. the sky is just to crowded and it has taken all the fun out of gliding. Will leave it to the pundits.
Damn I live 30 minutes from Suffolk. Going gliding today llo
Somebody get Russell Brand out of microphone range.
there's nothing "sick" about it you moron, they could have been killed.
I meant the way they filmed it. With 3 different cameras at different angles, it must have taken them a while.
how the fuck is a mid-air collision awesome?
Hey! just so you know, the pilot (my uncle) in the shoot is alive, and unharmed. the other pilot landed safely. Both experience pilots, these things just happen in extreme sports!
Yes, that was us.
Oh I'm ever so sorry..
Yes?
