Our number one priority is pasenger safety and therefore flights will be postponed and rescheduled if weather conditions are not suitable. The motion of a paraglider in the air has been known to affect persons susseptable to motion sickness. If you do suffer from motion sickness, it is advisable to take medication prior to your flight.
No alcohol/ drugs for eight hours prior to the flight. Due to the foot launching and landing techniques employed in paragliding, the passenger plays a major role in assisting the pilot to execute a successful flight. For this reason, it is important that the passenger is not affected by alcohol or other drugs.
The pilot retains the right to refuse carriage of any passenger deemed affected by alcohol or other drugs.
