Permission to pimp slap that pilot....

As easy as it is to just blame the pilot, the "see and avoid" strategy is, at best, flawed.
The paraglider can easily blend in with the background (even with its coloring)
The snow capped mountains can make a variety of colors and patterns, especially just below the horizon, which the paraglider was.

Strictly by the law, the paraglider DOES have right of way.

I'm to the point that ALL flying objects should have ADS-B out.

Should all vehicles talk to each other? I'm not saying it's a bad idea I'm just wondering how it'd be implemented.

Aviation based vehicles... yes.
Many ground vehicles at airports already HAVE ADS-B out
Come on Mr. A&P

Look it up!

I'll even give you a hint:

TSO-C166

 
I ALWAYS hated flying below 10,000 from PHL to upstate NY where the gliders play in the foothill created updrafts. No transponder, no problem. And, the drop zone south of the field next to the arrival. So much fun.

Some of the transmitters only need 3 watts to operate. Would be each to power them with a small battery bank.
