Taking First Aid to New Heights with Dales Paragliding Club

Pilots from the Dales Paragliding Club in the Yorkshire Dales recently completed a tailored first aid course with Allan. Designed to meet the unique challenges of paragliding, the course combined standard first aid with sport-specific scenarios.

Standard First Aid with a Unique Twist

The course began with a focus on essential first aid skills, covering medical emergencies like CPR, bleeding, and fractures. Allan then customised the training to address injuries pilots could encounter while paragliding. The group discussed handling accidents in cold, remote environments—a crucial consideration for pilots in the Dales.

Sport-Specific Scenarios

To make the course relevant, Allan adjusted the scenarios to reflect paragliding accidents. From crash landings to mid-air collisions, participants practised responding to injuries in realistic situations. Allan even brought along his own paraglider as a prop, adding an extra layer of immersion to the training.

Feedback from Participants

The pilots praised Allan’s engaging approach and attention to detail. Here’s what they had to say:

“Excellent course which met all of our needs.”

“Loved the way you adjusted the scenarios to cover accidents in our sport.”

“Best course I have ever done, and I’ve probably done a dozen over the years.”

“Amazing—you even brought your paraglider as a prop for us to play with.”
