Safety
in our Hands

Paramotoring is possibly the
safest form of personal flight ever devised but it's still aviation.
Humans in flight involve significant and not always obvious risk. We are
fortunate, though, in how much safety is at our disposal. For example,
PPG is safer than riding a motorcycle and the pilot has more control
over his fate than the rider. So its up to you, it's up to us,
individually, to make decisions that will further our injury-free
enjoyment.
The USPPA provides
tools to help educate pilots and instructors,
it's up to pilots to use them. For example, instructors who don't use
the syllabus or students who don't ask for its use are shortchanging the
training process.
Besides staying healthy and flying into
old age, Improving safety brightens our sport's reputation. That
reputation will more likely get us accepted at desirable public
sites, a welcome benefit.
