Final words...
Most of us today live in a dependent society where we are regulated and protected. There are few
opportunities for individuals to develop the self-responsibility that is the foundation of safety in extreme
sports such as paragliding.
Most accidents are caused by getting into situations that are too demanding for your level of
experience. This happens if you lack fundamental understanding, are incapable of assessing the risk or
simply do not pay sufficient attention to your surroundings or your own state of mind.
To stay safe, the best you can do is to increase your understanding, skill and experience at a rate you
can manage safely. There is no substitute for self-responsibility and good judgment.
In the end, paragliding offers a unique opportunity to learn to take control of your own destiny.
Memento mori, carpe diem!
Fly safely, and...E N J O Y!
