Disability benefit
Up to €200,000 per person. Hang gliding imposes 50 km/h landing speed in semi-standing position. Brutal lift loss (sheared thermal wind), low-altitude stall or crash on uneven terrain can cause polytrauma, paraplegia and serious head trauma.
Why is Hang Gliding insurance essential?
The hang glider remains free flight's most efficient rigid wing, with superior performance to the paraglider in pure distance. The FFVL organises the French championship and the FAI the World Cup and World Championships. Mythic French sites (Saint-Hilaire-du-Touvet, Annecy, Mieussy) host international competitions, as do Bassano del Grappa, Governador Valadares (Brazil) or Forbes (Australia). Risks are specific: take-off crash, 50 km/h landing in a semi-standing position, thermal turbulence and low-altitude stall.
Our Hang Gliding insurance is the choice of FAI World Cup competitors, FFVL pilots and XC distance record holders. For paragliding, see Paragliding. For free flight, see Free Flight.
