2010 Crash

During a training session at the second round of the 2010 Season (Perth, Australia) Kindelmann's aircraft crashed into the Swan River. It's understood that the aircraft stalled during a turn. He was able to level the wings before touching the water, but unfortunately after the initial contact, the aircraft flipped over. Adilson was uninjured and was rescued within minutes.

Kindelmann is the first pilot to crash during any part of the Red Bull Air Race.

Since the incident, the Brazilian pilot has been active in his quest to return to the sport. Initially, Kindlemann expected to return at the European leg of the competition for the last three races of 2010. However, along with the Committee of the Red Bull Air Race, had decided to return in 2011 until the series was suspended on safety grounds. He did not return when the series restarted in 2014.
