August, 2001 nor group health insurer could exclude my participation in group health insurancebased on my participation in legal recreational activities like hang gliding. http://www.cswnet.com/~n5rqd/2001/08news.htm
Extractions: My name is Philip S. Morgan, and like tens of thousands of other people I enjoy hang gliding as a hobby. I have learned of recent regulations addressing non-discrimination in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Please enter my comments into the public record for this rulemaking. However, the new rules would also allow an employer or group health insurer to deny medical coverage for injuries I may receive while hang gliding, or participating in many other legal recreational activities. I am adamantly opposed to this provision. This regulation could place an unimaginable burden on my family and me. The rule also legitimizes discrimination against me based on those legal recreational activities I choose to pursue as a hobby. This is wrong!

Are hang gliders, and paragliders only flown by supermen or women? No! Nevertheless for paragliding you need to be over 14 and for hang gliding you need to be over 16. Under 18s need parental consent. You should be fit and active; have good co-ordination and an alert, reasoning mind (but you don't need any previous flying experience). Although no medical examinations am required you should be in good health. If you suffer from any medical condition such as epilepsy, fainting, giddiness, high blood pressure, heart condition or diabetes you should ask your Doctor's advice. Many people may think that flying hang gliders and paragliders is impossible for people with disabilities. Nothing could be further from the truth. The message from the free flying community to any people with disabilities is: 'You can fly!' See

Extractions: This is me coming in for a landing (4/25/00) Took a powered hang glider flight over the southwestern coast of Maui. Pictures are here (5/30.99) Soared for 81 minutes at West Rutland, Vermont. Longest flight to date. (4/1/96) I spent a week at Wallaby Ranch in sunny Florida ! Check out my Wallaby page (9/30/95) I flew at Mystical Beach at Cape Cod National Sea Shore in Wellfleet, MA . It totally rocked.

Paragliding And Hang Gliding Tours On The Central Coast High Adventure Air Park is Australia's Internationally Renowned hanggliding,Paragliding and Microliting recreational Training Centre. http://www.backpackertours.com.au/Tour_companies/NSW/mid_north_coast/High_Advent
Extractions: High Adventure - Hang-glide High Adventure Air Park is Australia's Internationally Renowned Hang-Gliding, Paragliding and Microliting Recreational Training Centre. High Adventure Airpark has been using the Tandem hang gliding Instruction developed by Wallaby Ranch in Florida USA and is currently the only school in Australia using this technique for hang gliding instruction. This technique is proven to be by Far the safest and quickest way to get into the sport of Hang gliding!! By Using a Double- Decker harness and a Proven and Certified tandem glider, it allows the student free movement of the controls without the hindrance of the instructor (normally beside the student) and allows the instructor to take command of the glider when needed. By doing around 10 - 15 aero tows to 3000 feet gives the student pilot around 5 hours of in-flight instruction , finding that most students can fly the tandem glider AICUS (acting in command under supervision) from takeoff to landing completely by themselves in this time.
Hang Glide At LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN day, the landing zone has become the gathering point for grinning recreational aviatorsafter a to learn in the highthrill way of flying that is hang gliding. http://www.hanglide.com/article_light_stuff.html
Extractions: (reprinted from Kitplanes April 2000 issue) No one questions it anymore. Lookout Mountain Flight Park known as LMFP is the country's most active hang glider school and hang glider enterprise. Lookout Mountain Flight Park manager/owner Matt Taber takes time out to instruct a new hang glider pilot. LMFP trains hundreds of people each year. A million-dollar-a-year business that defies the notion that you can't make money in sport aviation, LMFP has survived and prospered for more than 20 years. In rankings of American schools maintained by the national USHGA club, Lookout Mountain Flight Park consistently ranks as the number one issuer of ratings to beginning pilots. Several other schools Wallaby Ranch in Florida and Kitty Hawk Kites in North Carolina aren't far behind, but nobody questions the supremacy of LMFP. Seen from high over the 44-acre landing zone, LMFP's facilities include training, rentals and overnight lodging.
