Let's make an analogy with driving a motor vehicle now.A learner driver can choose to drive
around the back blocks for a while, or head straight out onto the freeway at
rush hour. Also, aviation in general has it's risks. during 2005, only 3 people died
in paraglider accidents. Firstly, pilot's choose what conditions to fly in. Air in your hair,
and views to die for.. In Japan, you will find old people serenely gliding across
dormant volcano slopes. ooops.. This can lead to over-confidence and increased risk-taking. There's a lot
of truth in this, from at least a couple of angles. stats now. Fair enough,
I guess we all instinctively try to assess our risk of dying when trying something
new and exciting! So let's get the death-and-gloom out of the way first. Tim has
had the pleasure of soaring in sailplanes, hang-gliders and paragliders in the past, both real
and simulated. But under ideal tourist-flying conditions, yes, it's pretty safe and secure! And of
course, you can't go wrong if you are under a tandem wing with an instructor
doing all the flying.Now of course, every sport has its risks. The good news is,
it's safer than it's Extreme Sports image would have you think. Also in 2005 in
the U.S., 32 pilots or passengers suffered paragliding injuries. The joy of flying, year after
year after year, is the reward for doing it right.It has been said that paragliding
is as safe or as dangerous as the pilot makes it. Many years of experience
have led some Zapatillas Puma instructors to believe that this is in fact the ease with which
people can learn paragliding! After picking up the basics quite quickly, some novices can start
to think that they know a lot more about flying than they really do. 15
of these people required an overnight stay in hospital.Browsing through some material the other day
I came across a tandem pilot who has flown many passengers over the years. Or
it might mean sticking rigidly to a check list while preparing to leave the ground.
That's choosing driving conditions.Secondly, he or she can choose to observe the speed limits and
traffic signs, or push the pedal to the metal while running red lights and overtaking
everyone in the way. In some cases it's a matter of pure judgement such as
during an approach and landing. I mean really really great views! :-OTim Parish is a
motorless flight enthusiast, the webmaster of Paragliding Tales and Reviews, a comprehensive introductory site sprinkled
with humor. Particularly the fatalities count. Of which I know nothing, coming from The Great
Dry Flat Land, Australia. His enthusiasm for these activities is evident in his writing, which
he hopes will inspire others to fly.You can find an interesting discussion of the 2005
paragliding accident figures for the U.S. In 2005, only 50 accident reports relating to paragliding
were received, which was a 5 year low. The only way to get really good
and fly safely in more challenging conditions is to fly frequently, over a long period
of time.For some reason, people who Tn Requin have a passing interest in paragliding also have an
interest in the statistics of the sport. When it comes to safety though, the aviation
side of paragliding is all-important. And a big percentage of them are 'pushing the envelope'
by flying in challenging weather over very challenging terrain. Of all the so-called Extreme Sports,
paragliding has perhaps the widest range of participants. you guessed it, more people die from
being thrown off a horse than crashing a paraglider!In a similar vein, I came across
an insurance report that listed paragliding fatalities per participant to be less than motorcycle riding.
Now that doesn't surprise me, I've never trusted those things! ;-) Motorbikes that is.Another outdoor
activity which compares with paragliding in terms of injury rate per participant is snowmobiling. And...
The figures are actually quite reassuring, given the many, many thousands of people flying and
the flight hours they are accumulating.The stats for horse-riding and paragliding make for an interesting
comparison. The Alps, no less! As a beginner, you will not fit that category, hence
those particular stats need not worry you.Enough of death and dying, I'll just touch on
a couple of U.S. But in Europe, there are many times as many active pilots
as there are in the U.S. :-)Despite there being quite a few thousand active paraglider
pilots in the U.S. This should give you a good feeling, since a great way
to 'just try' paragliding is to go for a flight in a tandem paraglider! The
pilot is behind, the passenger hangs in front. In all his 350+ hours of tandem
flying, he has never had a passenger injured. This continued a trend towards fewer paragliding
fatalities each year in the U.S.Now, to be accurate and truthful, the situation in Europe
has been much worse in recent years, in terms of total fatalities. So Paragliding, being
both an adventure sport and a form of aviation, also has a degree of risk.
Through the Alps in France, you might spot daring young men pushing the limits of
their skills and their paragliders while flying cross-country in challenging conditions.Have you never flown in
a paraglider, either alone or in a tandem wing? Are you hankering to just 'give
it a try', but not yet sure whether you actually want to take it up
as a sport? If the answer to both questions is 'yes', then this article is
for you.The advertisers of paragliding adventure holidays take advantage of the sport's currently good safety
record. Secondly, they choose how far to stretch their piloting skills. All pilots are trained
to operate their aircraft safely, by minimizing potential risks. That's choosing how far driving skills
are pushed!Just for a moment, let's consider what the most dangerous thing about paragliding might
be. You might see lines such as this:"Bali Adventure Paragliding is safe, secure and is
a totally new experience not to be missed."Well, the second bit is totally true, the
first bit might be glossing over the occasional twisted ankle or bruise from beginners attempting
their very first landings. at the Paraglider Accident Report 2005 page on Tim's site..
