HOW SAFE IS IT TO FLY A HANG GLIDER? (HG的安全性如何?)
Hang gliding has a safety record that is superior to commercial aviation(HG的安全飞行记录好于商业航空). Like any form of aviation, hang gliding can be dangerous if pursued foolishly, and any form of aviation has associated risk(和任何航空运动一样,如果鲁莽地从事HG运动也是很危险的). Hang gliding is like most popular outdoor sports(HG向其他户外运动一样): it must be performed with the proper training(必须接受适当的训练), safety considerations(安全的考虑), and within the limits of the equipment and pilot(在设备和飞行员能力范围). Gliders in the United States are certified for air worthiness by the Hang Glider Manufacturers Association (HGMA) (美国的HG飞行员获得HGMA授予的证书是非常值得的). Hang gliding instruction has been standardized and students learn from certified instructors using a gradual training program(HG的指导已经被标准化,学员在有资质的教练那里使用逐步升级的教材学习). Despite these advances(), people still make judgment errors and accidents can occur(尽管有了上述学习培训内容, 学员仍然有可能作出错误的判断并发生事故). The majority of pilots fly their entire careers without sustaining an injury(大多数HG飞行员在一生的飞行生涯中没有发生过任何伤害事故). State-of-the-art gliders, advanced instruction techniques, and the United States Hang Gliding Association "skills rating program" have all helped to reduce the accident rate. Hang gliding safety is improved by the use of good equipment, proper instruction, practiced skills, and good judgment. Respect your abilities and know your limitations. Respect your equipment and know it's limitations. And most of all, respect the sky and the wind and pay careful attention to your flying conditions.
Is it dangerous...? （HG的飞行危险吗？）－－－这个内容是一个美国HG学校里的，不是美国HG协会的内容，请注意！
Not as much as paragliding is - email me for details （没有滑翔伞危险，想了解细节，请email本人）
Nearly all accidents occur due to pilot error and even so hang gliding is no more dangerous than climbing or skiing（几乎所有HG的事故都是由于飞行员的错误导致的，HG的飞行并不比登山和滑雪危险）. According to insurance statistics hang gliding is safer than "accepted" sports like horse riding and diving（根据保险统计HG比一些可以接受的运动如骑马和潜水要安全）. Certainly while you are undergoing training the risks are extremely small.（当然您如果接受过了培训，风险是极端小的）
Can I teach myself...?(我可以自学三角翼吗？)
Yes but it's a very risky business（可以，但这将是是个冒险的过程）: after all this is how the early hang glider pilots had to learn. Now there are experienced schools around with specialist equipment such as training gliders, radios, and most importantly - skilled instructors. The Peak District Hang Gliding Centre's pilots between them have amassed over 18,000 hours of training experience and 2500+ hours of flying over a period of 20+ years. It is silly to risk life and limb and not to mention damage to your own glider when proper training is available. Experience... Accept no substitute
可以把三角翼和滑翔伞做比较， 以韩国的GIN bolero III一类滑翔伞，和乌克兰aeros 的target 16一类滑翔翼做比较，通过比较，可能能说明一些原因：
1：重量：滑翔伞6kg，三角翼26kg（都不含座袋）；－－结论 三角翼太重啦，训练时要吃更多的苦头，流更多的汗
2：体积：存储和运输状态：滑翔伞 1mX0.6mX0.6M ;三角翼 2m X 0.8M X0.4M--结论 三角翼太大啦，运输和存储太不方便
3：价格：滑翔伞 1.7万RMB ，三角翼 2.6万RMB 结论 三角翼在短期比较贵，但三角翼的寿命可以达到10年，而滑翔伞可能只有5年，深圳的一些老鸟经常2年就换一次伞，这样从长远看，2者的成本差不多，滑翔伞可能更贵。
4：飞行姿态和感受：偶还没有把三角翼飞起来，无法比较，拍脑袋乱说一句：三角翼的滑翔更像雄鹰，这正是三角翼的魅力所在，也是它在滑翔伞的冲击下还能生存下去的重要原因之一。
5：起飞前的安装准备时间：滑翔伞3分钟；三角翼：50分钟
6：结束飞行打包时间：滑翔伞10分钟；三角翼30分钟
通过上述比较，楼主自己能总结出什么？？

多谢指教
能就安全性讨论一下吗,

学习了···
三角翼主要是太贵了 ,无动力的对场地要求比较高 ,不过一般海边都可以玩 ,关键就是价格 ,希望国产厂商给力山寨啊 !
缺少相关的教练和设备
