No, paragliding is not a dangerous sport (unless it is practised in extreme or unsuitable conditions). It’s a sporting activity like any other. Paragliding has existed since 1985.
The best professional pilots fly with very recent equipment, approved and regularly maintained. The two-seater flights are made at official flight sites of the Swiss Federation (SHV).
Note, nevertheless, that paragliding carries risks that are reduced to a minimum by the great experience of the pilots, who will be able to show you their passion in the best conditions.
Sister Emmanuelle said: “Life is a risk. If you haven’t risked, you haven’t lived. That’s what gives a taste of champagne.” I think it was just after her first tandem flight!
