There were no deaths hang gliding in the U.S. in 2006.
That's thousands of hours of flight. Over 40,000 people died on our roads.

The point being that it's a pure form of aviation rather than an adrenaline fix.

I would consider hang gliding an extreme sport, as I knew a woman who spent time in a BODY CAST because of a bad landing.

I always wanted to go hang gliding. I don't think I ever considered it an extreme sport.

but its still extreme and extremely cool!!! :)
you're hanging in the air...
the fact that there weren't any deaths last year just means that ppl take their safety seriously when they are doing it.
also, take into account other injuries: head and neck problems, broken bones, lost teeth, etc.
