WPPGA Paramotor Certification Information

Before buying a wing, a paramotor pilot can have a general idea of how safe it is thanks to DHV, CEN and ANFOR certifications. This is great, but until now, there has been no place for pilots to access safety information on paramotors. In order to help increase safety in the industry and help minimize all the most common injuries from happening over and over again in all the same ways we have started by setting some very basic guidelines to follow. There are hundreds of details that make some paramotors safer than others but to keep it as unbiased and achievable as possible for all paramotor manufacturers we started with only the 8 most obvious and basic features that would prevent over 95% of the serious injures & deaths that have happened in the past. Hopefully consumer demand will quickly self regulate the industry to where most manufacturers will be meeting these requirements within the next year. As manufactures update their units and notify us of the changes we will quickly note each change as fast as possible to ensure accuracy.

We would like to stress the importance of following these guidelines. If you read closely these 8 very basic, simple and logical requirements and compare them to accidents and injuries you have heard of or read about in the past you will find it exceptionally clear just how many injures these few precautions can prevent. When looking to purchase equipment either new or used, read through the list closely and make sure your next paramotor is specifically designed to help protect you in all the most important ways. Paramotors are an exceptionally fun, safe and useful tool if you follow some simple common sense. Thank you for your support in helping the WPPGA create a better tomorrow for all current and future pilots.
