SAFETY TESTS

DHV in the dog house

The Paragliding Manufacturers Association (PMA) met at St Hilaire du Touvet, France, on 17th September 2015 to discuss the execution of safety class tests carried out by the DHV.  Recent findings would suggest that testing carried out by the DHV does not objectively meet the standards and criteria required to do so.

In the interests of the general public, the PMA have released its official statement, following strong criticism by the manufacturers.
