The number of paragliding accidents is growing up exponentially. We review in this study 39 paragliding accidents which occurred 1985-1987 in the Val d'Illiez (Switzerland). The REGA (Swiss air ambulance) rescued 1987 61 pilots, which are also included. Most of the accidents were related to a mistake of the pilot. None is due to a failure of the material. The most severe injuries occurred immediately after taking off. The most frequent injuries occurred during landing. There is a correlation between the altitude, the wind velocity and the severity of the injuries. The lower extremities and the backbone are often injured, which is explained through the axial trauma. The pilots need a better training programme, the performance of the material should be built up and the starting places should be equipped.
滑翔伞事故的数量正在呈指数级增长。在本研究中，我们回顾了1985年至1987年期间发生在瑞士伊利耶谷的39起滑翔伞事故。瑞士空中救护队（REGA）在1987年营救了61名飞行员，这些也包括在内。大多数事故与飞行员的失误有关。没有一起是由于设备故障。最严重的受伤发生在起飞后立即。最常见的受伤发生在着陆期间。受伤的严重程度与海拔、风速之间存在相关性。下肢和脊柱经常受伤，这可以通过轴向创伤来解释。飞行员需要更好的训练计划，应提升设备性能，并且起飞地点应配备相应设施。
