Disclaimer

Speed Flying Fatality List is a volunteer-maintained record, compiled for research, safety education and remembrance. It is not an official or exhaustive registry — records depend on public reports, news coverage and information submitted by the community, and some incidents may be missing, incomplete or contain inaccuracies.

Details are included only to help others understand and learn from what happened. Nothing here should be read as a definitive statement about the cause of an incident, and no entry is intended to attribute fault or blame to anyone involved.

Speed flying is a highly dangerous sport that can severely injure and kill participants. Read the speed flying fatality list and think long and hard before taking off. It may kill you. The people behind Speed Flying Fatality List do not recommend speed flying to anyone!

Nobody, not even the authors of this website, can guarantee the correctness of the information on this website. Not all pilots necessarily agree with all content on this website. Some topics mention where opinions differ, but presenting only one side of a topic doesn't mean it isn't controversial within the speed flying community, or that there isn't a better way to do things.

The authors of Speed Flying Fatality List accept no responsibility, financially or otherwise, for any loss, serious injury or death that occurs as a result of any person following the advice contained on this website.

Speed flying is an extremely dangerous activity carrying a risk of serious injury or death. Performing it without becoming an experienced paraglider pilot and completing dedicated speed flying training will likely result in a demonstration of natural selection.

YOU, AND YOU ALONE, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS AND SAFETY!

Always seek proper training and mentoring before attempting any sort of speed flying. Do not think the information on this website alone is enough to keep you alive. It is not. Read other resources and talk to many other experienced speed flying pilots.
