Our Joe Parr gets in trouble while wearing a helmet cam, flying a high performance paraglider in big, rough, Mexican thermal conditions:

        - spirals out of control

        - throws his emergency reserve parachute

        - piles into top of tree

        - precariously dangles for 7 minutes

        - falls 50 feet to ground

        - all caught on helmet-cam

        - Joe Parr becomes global PG household name
