Nothing is further from the truth.
What should be true is that you are taking far greater risks driving to a flying site than in flying. Whether that is true or not is up to the pilot. When flying a hang glider, I am more in control of my fate than at any other time that I am in motion. As a hang glider pilot, I love life far more than the earth-bound can even start to appreciate. Bear in mind that today's hang glider has fantastic potential.
