Hang gliding is a great sport to try during vacation, especially if you're the adventurous type. It gives you a great overhead view of the area while moving your own aircraft, allowing you to adjust your view and control your distance from the ground. It is especially ideal if you're visiting foreign places, because the views are much more interesting. Hang gliding is a risky sport, however, so make sure you have sufficient travel insurance if you want to try it.
Even the most durable hang gliders are lightweight, so they are easily damaged by wind and thermal currents. This makes them hard to control and may cause you to crash against trees, buildings, or other hang gliders. Injuries resulting from such accidents range from cuts and bruises to more serious ones like fractures, hemorrhage, and head and brain injuries. Some injuries are fatal, and those that are not are usually expensive to treat without insurance coverage.
Hang gliding is done at exclusive fields to avoid collision with other aircraft. There are different safety regulations in every country, but most sites should have warning systems to prevent mid-air collisions. The hang gliders should come with parachutes to ensure a safe landing in case of a crash. Before signing up, make sure the site has adequate safety and emergency equipment, including first aid and ambulatory services.
Hang gliding is considered a grade 4 risk activity. This means it has a very high risk of injury. We recommend getting insurance coverage before trying it out.
