A host of questions sprang to mind:
- Did it fall?
- Did they break it?
- I thought they wanted a towable system. Did they really want a flight system?
- What is that thing hanging behind it?
- Why is the mountain terraced like that?
- How did they terrace the mountain like that?

Well, if this is Switzerland, those terraces are probably for avalanch protection of the town in the valley below. There was a neat article in National Geographic on the subject where they used big metal fences and poured concrete walls to protect towns.
ReplyDeleteThe thing hanging behind the trailer is probably providing drag so the system doesn't spin on the suspension cable.
My point was how quickly my concern went from the system to the other bizarre things in the picture. (I kinda hoped it fell).
ReplyDeleteYeah, we figured out what was going on with all the stuff mentioned and that the drag line would also help the pilot judge the landing.
