50% Assy
Pull down one of the As to collapse 50% of the wing.
Be patient in getting the collapse out.
Foot work might come in handy.
Success: collapse+recover 3x in a row
After two weeks of storms and bad weather we've finally had a great day here in the Peak District. A lot of good pilots say that you learn more in an hour groundhandling than in an hour flying. If you do it enough you can just feel what you wing in going instead of looking at it.

Recovering from a non-pilot-induced 50% asymmetric collapse whilst blindfolded.
There wasn't a lot of light so the images aren't very crisp but still find it mesmerizing to watch how paragliders twist and turn, fill up and collapse in slow motion. It was a very tricky day, was way too windy to ground handle and we were in the lee of trees.

After pulling the collapse with the A's on one side, stabilize the other side with A's and a little break input.
