Narrative:During takeoff from his fourth touch-and-go landing in his powered parachute the pilot encountered a dust devil. The wind shift pulled the parachute from overhead to horizontal very rapidly, driving the right front of the carriage into the ground from an altitude of 8-10 feet. The carriage then cartwheeled and came to rest upside down.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for the existing wind conditions and subsequent failure to maintain aircraft control.
