Regulations controlling the sport of paragliding were issued in April 1987 by the German Department of Transportation. The growing popularity of this sport has led to a steady increase in the number of associated injuries. This study presents the incidence, localization and degree of injuries associated with paragliding documented in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The 283 injuries suffered by 218 paragliders were documented in the period 1987-1989: 181 occurred during landing, 28 during starting procedures and nine during flight. The mean patient age was 29.6 years. There were 34.9% spinal injuries, 13.4% upper extremity injuries and 41.3% lower limb injuries. Over half of these injuries were treated surgically and in 54 instances permanent disability remained. In paragliding the lower extremities are at greatest risk of injury during landing. Proper equipment, especially sturdy footwear, exact training in landing techniques as well as improved instruction in procedures during aborted or crash landings is required to reduce the frequency of these injuries.
德国运输部于1987年4月发布了控制滑翔伞运动的规定。这项运动日益普及，导致相关损伤的数量稳步增加。本研究呈现了德国、奥地利和瑞士记录的与滑翔伞运动相关的损伤的发生率、损伤部位及损伤程度。在1987年至1989年期间记录了218名滑翔伞运动员所遭受的283起损伤：181起发生在着陆过程中，28起发生在起飞程序中，9起发生在飞行过程中。患者的平均年龄为29.6岁。脊柱损伤占34.9%，上肢损伤占13.4%，下肢损伤占41.3%。这些损伤中有超过一半接受了手术治疗，54例留有永久性残疾。在滑翔伞运动中，下肢在着陆时受伤风险最大。需要合适的装备，尤其是结实的鞋子，着陆技术的精确训练以及在中止着陆或迫降时程序方面更好的指导，以减少这些损伤的发生频率。
