Ultralights: a truly effective way to kill yourself.
A Monaville man taking his first flight in his ultralight was killed Saturday when the aircraft crashed in a remote pasture in Waller County.
That's just too bad, but why anyone would want to trust their live to a lawnmower engine strapped to a sheet of canvas is totally beyond me.
"It's a good, safe sport. Just like with anything else, things happen," Fox said. "We're not going to stop flying. Everybody knows what the situation is going into this -- when you add a third dimension to your sports, when you start adding altitude, you know what you're getting into, when you get into the seat. You know you're taking a chance -- you're living on the edge."
Quite a sublime statement for an ultralight pilot
