Safety in paragliding: basic precautions

Paragliding is a beautiful and exciting sport that allows people to fly using a wing-like parachute. Paragliding is classified as an injury-prone sport. In this article, we will look at the basic precautions that must be taken to ensure safety during paragliding.

Training and certification

Before you start flying a paraglider, you should be trained by an experienced and certified instructor. It is best to go to a special school, company or club of paragliders. In most countries, a certificate is required to practice paragliding. The certification allows you to make sure that the pilot's level of training and ability to fly safely meets the requirements.

Checking the equipment

Before each flight, equipment should be thoroughly checked. This includes checking the wing, slings, ropes, carabiners, harnesses, straps, reserve parachute and other pieces of equipment. All equipment should be charged, turned on and set up. It must be ensured that all pieces of equipment are in good condition and working properly.

Checking the weather

Weather plays an important role in paragliding, so you should check it carefully before you fly. It is best to fly in calm weather with minimal wind. Do not fly during thunderstorms, fog or rain. If there is a sudden change in weather conditions, it is better to reschedule flights for another time.

Using the right equipment

When paragliding you must use the right clothes and equipment, such as a helmet (special helmets for paragliding are best), jumpsuit (or jacket and pants made of strong windproof fabric) gloves and boots with sturdy soles. They will help soften the impact of a fall and protect against injuries from hard landings. Sunglasses will protect your eyes from bright sunlight.

Height limitation

When flying a paraglider it is necessary to know how to control the altitude to avoid getting into areas of strong winds where the pilot may lose control of the wing. It is also necessary to keep a safe distance from buildings, trees and other obstacles.

Means of communication

During the flight it is necessary to maintain communication with other pilots and the dispatcher. For this you will need a radio and knowledge of frequencies. Find out what frequencies are used in the area. This will help prevent airborne collisions and react to possible hazards.

Self-Control

When paragliding it is important to stay calm and focused. Mistakes can be costly in this sport, so focus on the flight and avoid distractions.

Backup gear

When flying a paraglider, it is necessary to have backup equipment, such as an extra parachute. This will help protect the pilot in case of an accident or unexpected situation.

Compliance with the rules

It is important to follow the rules of paragliding and to follow all the requirements of the regulatory authorities. This will help prevent unforeseen situations and increase overall safety. It is forbidden to fly under the influence of alcohol and narcotics, pregnancy and cardiovascular diseases.

Paragliding can be a beautiful and exciting sport, but it can also be dangerous if the safety rules are not followed. By following the precautions above, pilots can reduce the risks and make paragliding safer and more enjoyable for all participants.
