  • the idiot posting as alcoholevel who said nobody ever died powered paragliding is wrong. It is statistically safer than paragliding, but people die doing it. I've been flying paragliders for years and know of plenty accidents and a few fatalities in paragliding and I personally know 2 people who've broken their backs while powered paragliding.

  • @BlazingBovineRanch Yes it could have been stated more clearly for sure. The key point was zero people have died on WPPGA Certified equipment. With a certified glider, WPPGA certified paramotor and a reserve you won't find one single death has ever occured as of 10/8/2011 and only 2 real injuries have ever been reported. They quality of the equipment you fly makes a huge gigantic difference in the safety of the sport. It is EXTREMELY important to fly only WPPGA Certified gear.

  • I haven't thought of paragliding for a moment in my life but after watching a few of your videos I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do this... still a little worried about the danger of it though.

  • @AlcoholLevel Paramotoring is the ticket and as long as you get the right equipment and training zero people have ever died. Only 2 injures to date and both were people doing really stupid stuff. Both continue to fly. It is an incredibly forgiving and safe sport if you get the right gear. Soooo dang fun!! I've broken nearly every bone in my body on motorcycles but in 10 years of flying like a maniac on paramotors my worst injuries have been a bruise, sprain and scraped knees. Booyaaa!!

  • How's that helmet working?

  • @cessncaravan7 Works awesome, I use it when I ride a motorcycle as well.

see all
