Hang gliding is as safe as the individual makes it. Like any form of sport aviation hang gliding requires careful training and execution. Our experience provider makes your safety a priority, they have the best equipment, a comprehensive training program, highly experienced staff and backup systems to ensure you are safe and have a wonderful experience.
The trim speed of a hang glider is about 18-20 MPH. Trim speed is defined as the speed a glider is flying when the pilot is flying hands off. Most gliders stall at around 15 MPH, are towed at about 33-35 MPH and reach top speeds of 45-65 MPH (depending on the glider model).
Unlike the rigid airframe that shapes the wing of a hang glider, a paragliding wing is maintained only by air pressure. This means that the hang glider wing is more stable and can be flown at higher speeds and in a larger range of wind conditions. Paraglider pilots fly in a supine or seated position unlike hang glider pilots who fly in a prone (laying down) position.
