I've flown a Six-Chuter a few times in the past.
The take-off was hard on my knees the first few times (got bad knees and I stumbled a few times), but I thoroughly enjoyed it. |

Isn't a Six Chuter a powered parachute rather than a powered paraglider? I.e., you sit down in a Six-Chuter (or any other powered parachute), while you stand (and run) with a powered paraglider. How did you stumble and hurt your knees sitting down? 
To the OP...I've thought about it, but for some reason I have a probably-unreasonable fear of the parachute collapsing. I suspect that's probably extremely rare, though. Yeah? |
