communication

I believe the discussion should not solely revolve around the accident report itself. While such reports can and should be detailed—covering aspects such as the pilot’s profile and the organizational conditions—it is equally important to focus on how to use this information effectively to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Accident reports should be submitted within a defined timeframe following the conclusion of the event. It is not appropriate to place additional pressure on the Organizer, Meet Director, or Safety Director during an ongoing competition, as their primary responsibility must remain the safety of all participants. Submission of reports by both organizers and pilots should be mandatory, and failure to comply should result in sanctions, such as disqualification from organizing or participating in subsequent events.
A clear communication protocol must be established. Journalists are often the first to share information following an incident, but without a structured process enabling organizers to communicate accurate details to the public, the impact on our sport and our community can be severe. A consistent and transparent communication strategy is therefore essential to safeguard the reputation and integrity of paragliding as a sport.
