The risk
Parascending is an adventurous and exhilarating sport. In common with all air sports it has an element of risk. Due to our carefully evolved training programme injuries requiring more than first aid treatment are rare.

 

Fitness to fly
You should be in good health and be able to take a heavy landing. If you have previously suffered any head or back injuries, suffer from faintness, dizziness or fits, have a heart condition or are taking medication do not fly until you have sought your doctor’s advice and talked to your instructor.

BHPA Membership

All Scouts flying at Sky High 2010 are covered by Unity, Scout Insurance Services and are one-day members of the British Hang-gliding & Paragliding Association (BHPA). BHPA membership provides 3rd party insurance cover.

 

Your training
You will be trained according to nationally established procedures that are proven to be successful and which minimise the risk of injury. You must agree to follow the directions of your instructor and abide by his/ her decisions.
