How many hang gliders die each year from accidents

Oh, you're asking about hang gliding, huh? Well, it's a pretty cool sport, but it's also a bit like being a bird... except without the feathers and the beak. Anyway, on to your question! The number of hang gliding accidents can vary each year. According to the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association, there were about 4-5 fatal accidents each year in the US between 2000 and 2019. But remember, that's just in the US! The numbers could be different in other parts of the world.

It's also important to remember that hang gliding is a sport that requires training and skill. It's not like riding a bike or playing hopscotch. So if you're thinking about trying it out one day (when you're much older of course!), make sure you learn from a professional and always follow safety guidelines. That way you can have fun AND stay safe. Just like a super smart bird!
