Submitting an incident report
The BHPA incident reporting system has now been replaced by a pan European system hosted by the European Hang Gliding and Paragliding Union (EHPU).
Please provide as much information as possible, and use the "Continue" and "Back" buttons at the bottom of the form to move to the next or previous page.
NB. The "Reset" button will clear all data entered.
When you submit an on-line incident report form you automatically grant permission for the information disclosed to be stored electronically and in paper records by the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (BHPA) and the European Hang Gliding and Paragliding Union (EHPU) for the purposes of recording and analysing accidents and incidents.
For further information about how the BHPA uses the information submitted in incident reports, please review our Privacy Policy. For further information about the EHPU's Privacy and Security Policies please contact the EHPU.
