Leading Edge PPG Student Contract
- I will keep my instructors informed on any concerns I have over my health, safety, and progress during my course of instruction.
- I understand that my training fee includes all gear necessary to safely train and fly for up to 25 launches and landings. If I purchase equipment, training includes unlimited launches and landings within my 7-10 days of allocated training time.
- I understand that the Leading Edge PPG staff will make every effort to achieve as many flights as physical abilities, aptitude, scheduling, weather, and other factors allow within the 7-10 days of allocated training time; 25 flights is a specified maximum, not a specified minimum.
- I understand that though students are strongly encouraged to obtain their USPPA ratings, the training fee itself is not directly tied to the completion or issuance of a rating. However, USPPA certifications will be signed off if existing standards are met.
- I understand that my training fee includes up to 7-10 days of active training, defined as days where I receive active instruction (this is typically more than enough time to achieve 15 flights). If I desire to continue training beyond the allocated 7-10 active training days, I will be asked to pay a training fee of $300 per day or $150 per session.
- I understand that if I commit myself to be present on a particular day for training, and am not present in a timely manner without giving a 24-hr cancellation notice, that day will count as one of the 7-10 days included in the training fee.
- I understand that this course is fast-paced and absences could put me and the class progression as a whole behind pace. I commit to being present, on time, and actively engaged in every scheduled training session during the 7-10 active training days.
- Leading Edge PPG offers a full line of equipment, accessories, and service. If during or after my training I choose to purchase paramotoring gear, I will make a good-faith effort to purchase new or used gear through Leading Edge PPG.

I understand that this agreement is intended to cover all interactions that I may have with the company, either during training or at any time in the future.

I hereby RELEASE, WAIVE AND DISCHARGE the company, including its agents, subsidiaries and affiliates, its officers, directors and owners, and/ or its employees from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions and causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including death, that may be sustained by me or to any property belonging to me, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE COMPANY, ITS EMPLOYEES, OR OTHERWISE, for any activities, or in, on or upon the premises where the activities are being conducted. I further agree that I will not file suit against the company or its employees for any injuries I may receive and specifically waive any right that I might otherwise obtain against them. This agreement applies to all claims, whether they arise from negligence, breach of contract, or otherwise.
I am fully aware of the risks and hazards connected with powered paragliding, including the risk of injuries that can cause death or bodily injury, and I hereby voluntarily elect to participate in said activities knowing that the activities may be hazardous to me and my property. I recognize that there are certain risks involved in powered paragliding that cannot be eliminated or avoided. I VOLUNTARILY ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY RISK OF LOSS, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH, that may be sustained by me, or any loss or damage to property owned by me, as a result of any action or failure to act, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE COMPANY OR ITS EMPLOYEES OR SOME OTHER SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES.
I understand that powered paragliding is virtually unregulated. There are no laws or regulations that govern the equipment being used, the experience of the pilots or instructors, or any other material aspects of the sport. Different instructors and “experts” in the field of powered paragliding have different opinions regarding the safest way to train students and fly powered paragliders. I completely RELEASE, WAIVE AND DISCHARGE the company and its employees for any decisions regarding these matters, regardless of what may be considered by others to be a standard for conducting these activities.
I assume full responsibility for any health risks that I may have. Neither the company nor its employees have in any way evaluated whether I am healthy enough to participate in the activities contemplated by this agreement. I understand that flying powered paragliders involves substantial physical exertion including carrying substantial weight under circumstances that can further affect my normal physical performance and my ability to safely participate in these activities. I assume all risks associated with the activities including the risk of death or serious bodily injury resulting from any health condition I may have.
I understand that the company does not make any claim or representation that the equipment used is fit for any particular purpose.

Attachment A
Powered Paragliding is a dangerous activity for which human, mechanical, and other errors can cause injury including death and serious bodily injury. Many of the potential causes and risks cannot be avoided. Others may not be avoided because of human error. The types of acts that can cause such injuries are infinite and are too broad and numerous to define here. This is merely intended to set forth examples of acts of negligence that can cause such injuries.
Human error can result in injury. Students can make errors that can cause such injury. The sport involves running with heavy equipment and a propeller turning at extremely high revolutions. Students can trip or otherwise fall and incur substantial injuries. Body parts can come into contact with the propeller causing catastrophic injury. Instructors can make mistakes that can cause injuries, including providing improper instruction and failing to notice mechanical problems with equipment. Instructors can become distracted.
They can misjudge the ability of a student to perform any task. Instructors can make bad judgment calls, including the suitability of weather conditions for flying, the appropriateness of using certain equipment, and the failure of the student to properly use the equipment. The instructors may fail to notice that the student is not properly attached to the harness, or other problems with the equipment. Dangerous medical conditions can go unnoticed or untreated.
Conditions for flying can change without warning. Instructors can fail to realize that the conditions are changing, and can fail to instruct students appropriately regarding flying in given weather conditions.
A portion of the course is ground school. The ground school instructor can give improper information or fail to give what is considered necessary information for the activity. Instructors are human and on some days will be more focused than others. Improper instruction can cause injury including death and serious bodily injury.
Leading Edge PPG uses its equipment and sometimes the equipment of its employees or students for training purposes. The equipment can have mechanical problems that go unnoticed or ignored and parts can be improperly installed or have other malfunctions.
Mechanical problems can cause substantial injury. Seatbelts or harnesses can fail, pilots can become detached from the harness, the prop can fail, the netting can fail, the frame can break, the throttle can stick, and the gas tank and engine can catch fire. Items can become detached and come in contact with the prop causing catastrophic destruction of the prop. Carabiners and lines that attach the wing to the pilot can break. The wing can collapse due to improper installation, defects in the material or other error. The lines and wing can catch fire. Fire can be caused by numerous conditions. Electric start motors have a battery that can catch fire.
The company uses towing equipment in its training. The equipment is subject to failure which can cause serious injury or death. In addition, students frequently experience their first flight with towing. Student error can result in injury. In addition, from time to time, the company may use tandem paragliders for training or recreational purposes. Tandem flying incurs all of the risks included in this release.
All of these and countless other dangerous conditions can be caused by the negligence of the company or its employees and result in serious bodily injury or death.
