Safety Notices

Paragliding and hang gliding are incredibly thrilling and safety is paramount to the success of these sports in New Zealand.  

This is by no means an exhaustive list of safety notices from manufacturers around the world. You can search by manufacturer name and/or product type to see if your equipment is affected BUT please also look on manufacturers’ websites for information regarding your equipment.

If you find anything not here, please email a link to the safety notice to [email protected]

These safety notices are in chronological order with the latest at the top.  To see the date of issue and further information, please click on the notice. 

NZHGPA also now have an Equipment Defect form.  This is for reporting defects such as incorrectly fitted safety equipment, unrated or damaged hardware  or unacceptable repairs.  This information will go to the NZHGPA Safety team for follow up.
