Does death strike randomly
This is a masterful study on paragliding accident rates. This study conducted by Jean-Marc Galan covers 13 years of accident report archives (2007-2019) on a population of 20,000 pilots. It focuses more specifically on identifying the typical profile of a pilot who is the victim of a fatal paragliding accident. It examines their age, gender, level of experience, qualifications, annual flying volume, the category of wing they use...
