History of Hang Gliding & Paragliding

[ shipWrkP.gif ]
Digital painting by Everard Cunion based on a real painting by Violet Parkhurst of a ship wreck in Oregon.


Never risk ditching (landing in water). Even shallow surf has killed both hang glider and paraglider pilots. Prominent Wessex club pilot Adam Jefferson drowned offshore the Ringstead cliffs in 1983.
