Typical hazards & measures

  • Physical fatigue during flightBuild core and upper body strength to handle the physical demands of paragliding. Take frequent breaks between flights and avoid over-exertion. Recognize the signs of fatigue early, such as slower response times or muscle cramps.
  • Unexpected downdraftsLearn to anticipate and respond to downdrafts by practicing controlled descents. Monitor cloud formations and wind patterns for early warning signs of downdrafts, and maintain adequate altitude to recover from sudden drops.
  • Equipment failureRegularly inspect the paraglider, harness, helmet, and reserve parachute. Adhere to manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedules and immediately replace any compromised parts to ensure top performance and reliability.
  • Ill-fitting harnessEnsure the harness fits properly and is adjusted to your body size and weight. Improper harness fit can reduce comfort and control during flight, leading to fatigue or difficulty handling the paraglider. Test the harness during practice sessions.
  • Improper launching techniqueEnsure correct body positioning during launch. Have an experienced instructor review and guide early launches to reduce improper positioning or rushed techniques. Double-check wing setup and ensure adequate wind conditions for a controlled takeoff.
