Common Injuries Whilst Hang Gliding
Hang Gliding can be dangerous and should not be undertaken lightly. Thermal and wind currents can make the Glider challenging to control, leading to collisions with highly stationary objects or crashes.
Injuries received can range from bruising to broken bones. Fatalities are usually related to head injuries.
To avoid injuring yourself when Hang Gliding, follow a few simple steps:
- Ensure you have had training from a Qualified Instructor before starting the hang glider.
- Ensure you have the proper equipment, including a suit, harness, and hang Glider.
- Choose a location appropriate to your skill level. As a beginner, do not try anything too challenging.
- Make sure the weather conditions are conducive to a safe flight.
