Video: What's The Real Risk Of Paragliding?

Channel: @FlyWithGreg

ๅ…ณไบŽ

Today in SAFER EVERY DAY weโ€™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!
