Steve Marshall...how about a forum on 'Safety Matters' it could be above the 'Accident Book'

Please remember if you have had a bit of a bump ! stick it in the 'Accident Book' so everyone can learn from your experience ! it can also help to stop bigger bumps.

Happy care free flying :beer:

Always fill in a BHPA accident report form no matter how small the incident is. The more reports of accidents resulting in little if no damage to the pilot or machine makes our insurance company view our sport as much safer, then if they only receive ones when the pilot ends up all smashed up. This will result in them viewing our sport as much less risky and eventually lead to an improvement in insurance cover form all the schools (currently £25,000 liability per claim).

So please guys get them reports in, its nothing to be embarrassed about infact you will be helping our sports future more then you think.
