And exactly why I don't participate in the various forms of light sport aviation.
This. Don't mess with LSA.
LSA can be safe, but the person flying it has to understand the limitations of the machine and not do stupid stuff.
I've got a coworker that has one of the backpack powered parachutes, and he has been very cautious about learning to fly it (years ago, he owned a part 103 ultralight plane, and flew it for a while without any mishaps). I watched some of the youtube channels he told me about, and everything I saw that mentioned wind, said that you don't fly powered parachutes in anything stronger than light wind. The low max speed and non-rigid wing make it stupid to fly them when flags are showing as much wind as the ones in that video were showing.
