Is PPG Safe?

[Doofus]

Motorised paragliding looks sort of fun. Is it safe(ish)? It seems that, if the motor fails, you just parachute back to earth.

Presumably everyone who knows anything about it is dead...

Well, my brother's friend was into it for a while. But he crashed and died doing it a couple of years ago...

There you are, then.

Thanks

You are using your legs as undercarriage

So it the one with the wheels something different?
