The CIVL Paragliding Competitions Safety Task Force has produced
its first report, which includes a summary of the work that has been undertaken
and a number of short term and long term recommendations. The Task Force was
constituted by CIVL after the tragic events at Piedrahita in July, to try to
determine and analyse the causes of the high number of incidents at this
Category 1 World Championship, and to identify areas where they considered that
safety could be improved.

With a mix of expertise and experience including paraglider designers and
manufacturers, competition pilots and organisers, the Task Force has concluded
that there were multiple factors contributing to the incidents, and that
although the type of glider was deemed to be a factor in most of the incidents,
it was not the sole cause of any of them.

The work of the Task Force has covered a wide range of subjects, including a
study of pilot skills and experience, competition structure and task setting as
well as lengthy discussions concerning the wings themselves.

Their already extensive work has been further compounded by the recent
announcement that some ‘competition class’ performance gliders have just
completed the flight test portion of the EN certification process, the
subsequent reactions of the paragliding community, and especially the situation
initiated by the test houses to temporarily suspend the testing of this type of
wing.
