2. SAFETY INFORMATION

2.1. General safety advice

Flying a paraglider calls for appropriate training and a sound knowledge of the subject, as well as, of course, the 
necessary insurance cover and licence. A pilot must be able to correctly assess the weather conditions before 
taking off. His or her capabilities must be adequate for the actual paraglider. The paraglider pilot is also required 
bear a sense of responsibility towards the natural world, especially regarding the preservation of wildlife and 
landscape.

Warning

Wearing an adequate helmet, suitable boots and clothing, and carrying an emergency 
parachute (a ‘reserve’) are essential. Before every flight all items of equipment should be 
checked for damage and airworthiness. A proper pre-takeoff check must also be carried 
out.

Warning

Every pilot bears sole responsibility for all risks, including injury or death, when 
participating in the sport of paragliding. Neither the manufacturer nor the seller of a 
paraglider can guarantee or be held responsible for the pilot’s safety.
