I couldn’t agree more with you

A little hello from France. I practice flying in a single trike for 2 years, and I love it.... Indeed, the paramotor can be dangerous if it is used in a dangerous way, but it can also be practiced safely. Above all, I try to keep the machine in perfect condition, fly low as little as possible, and be very attentive to maneuvers and turbulence at low altitude, and I am very demanding on the weather.... The rest is just fun..

Good video. Only thing I’d point out is paramotoring is NOT statistically more safe than riding a motorcycle on the road. I have no idea where that stat came from but it’s inaccurate. Paramotoring statistics are definitely worst, especially when you factor number of pilots along with airtime hours.

@Anthonybuening

It’s pretty hard to gather actually stats on Paramotors because we have very small regulation and not every incident is recorded but from most of the data I have seen recently they claim it’s safer than riding a motorcycle we are starting to see more and more incidents due to more and more people getting into it

Please stop spreading this misinformation. I’ve done paramotoring and paragliding for years and anyone who says it’s safer than walking down the street is dead wrong and knows nothing about how to properly evaluate statistics. I can’t even count how many people I saw get hurt and killed in paragliding/paramotoring. And these groups of pilots are tiny compared to millions of people walking the streets everyday unharmed.

I want to get into this sport. I did a tandem skydive over 1 year ago and absolutely loved being under canopy so I signed up for aff and I have 8 solo jumps now. However my head and ears can't handle the repeated and quick changes in altitude. On that 8th jump I even had a bloody nose. It's been 3 months since and my ears still act up when I'm lifting and pushing hard. I'm not afraid of dying but I question if this is practical for me tho. I live up North so that means winter 5-6 months of the year. Then when it warms up the wind is blowing everyday and I'm incredibly busy as a farmer.

Hey man glad to hear you are interested in the sport I will say this is nothing like sky diving there really isn’t an adrenaline rush in paramotoring for the most part and changes in elevation happen very slowly and as far as the winter goes I fly all year round they make flight suits that will keep you extremely warm I’ve flown in 15 degrees before and been just fine the only downfall to this sport is the wind we are an extremely fragile form of aviation so we are limited on mornings and evenings with low wind I wish you the best of luck and if you need anything just reach out

I am considering Paramotoring and ironically the main safety issue that concerns me is the parachuting that is a requirement for a license here.

You can successfully learn this on your own but I caution against it because you don’t know what you don’t know but if you decide toto self train make sure you are aware of the weather first and foremost don’t fly in anything above 6 miles an hour for your first flight and up to 2 hours after sunrise and 2 hours before sunset DO NOT fly in the middle of the day

@@droptableaccount1820 no flying in the middle of the day is probably one of the most dangerous things you can do on a Paramotor due to something called thermals the sun heats the ground and invisible columns of air rise and if you hit them while flying they can cause your wing to collapse which could be catastrophic if you take training they will teach you all about weather but generally speaking you are safe to fly 2 hours after sunrise and 2 hours before sunset the thermals are usually gone or very light I could do a video on that topic if you would want to see it

In comparison to other fix wing aircraft they are very basic and slow as you mentioned they are inherently stable and hard to stall or spin and if you take a collapse it generally opens right back up granted you have plenty of altitude
