Statistically paragliding is as safe as driving.
Only 1 in 11,000 flyers die a year from paragliding making the sport safer than motorcycles, horseback riding and even driving!
The most important element to improving safety does not come down to the weather conditions, or wind that day. The main element actually comes down to the confidence and mental preparedness of the flyer in the paraglider. The best way to prepare yourself mentally for paragliding is to learn from an experienced paraglider.
