The British Hang Gliding Association accident report for 1975 reported two deaths. The remaining cases were predominantly limb fractures. The major causes of the injuries were inexperience, high wind speed, turbulence, and stalling. It is contended that the sport is no more risky than is rock climbing, motor-bike racing, skiing, or potholing, yet against these undoubtedly dangerous sports no threat of prohibition exists. The current accident rate in hang gliding could be reduced dramatically by the provision of proper courses of instruction.
英国悬挂式滑翔伞协会1975年的事故报告称有两人死亡。其余案例主要是四肢骨折。受伤的主要原因是缺乏经验、风速过高、气流不稳和失速。有人认为，这项运动并不比攀岩、摩托车赛车、滑雪或洞穴探险更危险，然而对于这些无疑危险的运动，却不存在禁止的威胁。通过提供适当的培训课程，悬挂式滑翔伞目前的事故率可以大幅降低。
