Description
What is hang gliding? Hang gliding is the closest a human can get to soaring, bird-like flight. It is flying without a motor; a quiet, simple, and beautiful experience. The hang glider itself is a non-motorized wing that can be foot launched or towed aloft. The glider has a rigid anodized aluminum frame that maintains the shape of the wing. The wing is constructed out of sailcloth, mylar, and dacron. How safe is hang gliding? Hang gliding is as safe as the individual makes it. Like any form of sport aviation, hang gliding requires careful training and execution.
