Abstract

It is reported about 36 hang-gliding accidents within a period of 2 1/2 years. Injuries of the upper and lower extremities predominate. The localization of the injuries is most striking; their origin is discussed. Most of the accidents are caused by three risk factors: pilot error, equipment failure, and weather conditions. Prevention of accidents is discussed.
