South Side Mini Wing Spin Event Injury

Oct. 12 a very experienced pilot on a hybrid mini wing ( a large-ish one ) suffered some sort of stall/ spin event. The result was a stable lower back injury. Pilots are reminded that even if you fly regularly and are familiar with your gear, there is a certain random factor that can manifest a surprise event when you least expect it. Pay attention, even in simple and familiar conditions. Use best practices like weight shifting and judicious addition and subtraction of brake to avoid both deflation and on the other hand - spin/ stall events.
