Safety is the major theme of our sport. In order to fly safely, pilots must train, study,
practice and be alert to the dangers around us. In order to achieve excellent safety levels,
we must fly regularly as much as possible, don’t go beyond our limitations and avoid
exposing ourselves to unnecessary dangers. Learning to fly is a slow process and takes
years, so don’t pressure yourself. If conditions are not favorable, keep your equipment
stored away.
Don’t overestimate your skills and be honest with yourself. Every year we see many
accidents which in most cases could be prevented with a minor adjustment.
We are a part of the community in which we live: friends, family and even people we
don’t necessarily know worry about us. Our obligation towards this community is to
keep ourselves healthy and that at each landing we will be one landing happier than
before. We fly so that we can feel more alive.
We wish you good and safe flights with your new paraglider.
