Common Injuries
Hang Gliding can be dangerous and should not be undertaken lightly. Thermal and wind currents can make the Glider difficult to control leading to collisions with high stationary objects or crashes.
Injuries received can range from bruising to broken bones. Fatalities are usually related to head injury.
In order to avoid injuring yourself when Hang Gliding, follow a few simple steps:
- Make sure you have had training from a Qualified Instructor before you start Hang Gliding.
- Make sure you have the proper equipment, including a proper suit, harness and hang glider.
- Choose a location that is appropriate to your skill level. Do not try anything to challenging as a beginner.
- Make sure the weather conditions are conducive to a safe flight.
