Paragliding is aviation, and pioneers in aviation have always had high fatality rates.

You don't want to be a pioneer. Teaching yourself paragliding on your own is extremely dangerous.

Similarly to kitesurfing, one should take a kiteboarding course to minimize risk, same rule goes if you want to fly an airplane or a car: Lessons are required when handling power machines, or engaging in extreme sports.

One of the nine fatalities in the United States in 2003 was a self-taught pilot attempting to fly in high winds by tethering to a fixed object on the ground. A bystander was also seriously injured in this accident.

Fixed-rope towing and tethering with fixed ropes to objects is extremely dangerous and has resulted in several other serious injuries and fatalities.

Paraglide instruction and training is essential in any form of aviation.
Pilots should not sell used equipment to people who do not have proper training.

Safe towing requires a weak link, a proper tow device and training for both the pilot and the tow operator.
