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...ENJOY!

GIN team
