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!
GIN team
