Video: What's The Real Risk Of Paragliding?

Today in SAFER EVERY DAY we’re talking about the real risk of paragliding and the big mistake the average pilot makes.

Statistics have been drawn from a British Hang Gliding and Paragliding study https://www.bhpa.co.uk/documents/safety/annual_analysis/

and modified by the larger study in France https://bit.ly/2UTkYDQ and its analysis https://bit.ly/2Ya0pFf yielding a roughly 2% incident rate.

This is very broad, because it doesn't show airtime/number of flights/training/rating/typical behaviour/wing/local sites which all dramatically affect your particular risk.

What it does show, is you don't want to be average. Aim for excellence!
