People often ask, “How safe is paragliding?” The best answer is: as safe as you make it. Any experienced pilot will tell you that the most important safety factor in paragliding is not wind, air pressure, or visibility. In fact, it’s not any external factor.

A student with the right attitude will do far better in the long run than someone who happens to pick up the sport easily at the outset.
