Following the tragic events at the FAI World Paragliding
Championships in Piedrahita and the subsequent temporary suspension of
Competition Class paragliders in Category 1 events, the Hang gliding and
Paragliding Commission (CIVL) has announced the formation of the Paragliding
Competitions Safety Task Force.

In this way, the Task Force will not only be considering the issues surrounding
competition class paragliders in competitions, but also investigating and
proposing solutions in order to improve the overall safety of all FAI sanctioned
events.

One of the first actions will be to compile the incident data we have collected
so far and to gather further data, so that some meaningful analysis into the
causes can be conducted. CIVL’s Incident Report Form provides the structure for
the database and the form is now available online. A call for incident data will
soon be made to NACs, competition organisers, team leaders and pilots.
