Talk:Red Bull Flugtag

UK
I'm sure they used to regularly do this kind of thing off some pier in the UK, but I can't for the life of me remember where it was. Mintguy 15:30, 12 Aug 2003 (UTC)


 * Found it, it's Bognor Regis http://www.birdman.org.uk/main.html Mintguy 15:33, 12 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Citation for environmental statement
Can someone provide a reference from a non-Wikipedia mirror site documenting the statement about environmental concerns? Thanks. Captainktainer * Talk 20:36, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't see the environmental concerns part in the article as it is now. The entry form (not available online AFAIK) includes the following condition on a checklist: "Environmentally friendly materials".  It doesn't seem to be in the Terms and Conditions (http://www.redbullflugtag.com.au/showTermsAndCondition.action). - Zak

Flugtag is too generic a title for this entry
This entry should be retitled to Redbull Flutag or something identifying it as the specific Flugtag competition rather than the generic "Flugtag" which is German for airshow. Ekilfoil 18:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with Ekilfoil, Redbull Flugtag would be a more appropriate name for this article. PhilipDSullivan 03:38, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Additional articles
I don't see why we shouldn't create articles for the different events that have been held by Red Bull around the world. Each event is special and has a certain notoriety for the hundreds and thousands of people who show up to them. This would also provide room for detailed descriptions of memorable flying crafts created, which in turn would give the reader of the main article an oppurtunity to have a more complex view of the Flugtag experience.

Sections for each country
Someone from the United Arab Emirates has popped in the details of their details - I think we should have a whole section, subdivided into countries, where each place could put info on it's flugtag comps. Surroundsound5000 11:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

The UK section is missing too --89.240.252.48 (talk) 18:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * does the UK have wildly different ELIGIBILITY specs? article says most countries have weight limits around 150kg/330lbs, but the PHOTO there shows 4 adult males(?) atop a solid-looking craft.  that's gotta be like 300kg/660lbs, minimum.
 * or are there "non-eligible" crafts that are just in it for the "show" part of the event. i.e., not even competing? 209.172.23.106 (talk) 18:26, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Woman injured in Bucharest
A woman apparently broke her back in the BUcharest event: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c47_1285621785  I haven't posted this in the article yet because I can't confirm if the text from that page is accurate, but obviously something happened. --Howdybob (talk) 08:33, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
