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
www.bhpa.co.uk/documents/safe...
and modified by the larger study in France bit.ly/2UTkYDQ
and its analysis 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!
