Great advice for soaring parachutists from Paragliding Forum:

    
                                      Carry heavy duty pain killers!

After all, who needs an airframe when you have oxycontin?    
Don't leave home without it.
Laugh off that compound fracture!
Crawl faster with a broken back!
I never in my life heard of hang glider pilots doing this.
Is it for before they take off or after they land - or both?
Is this why they don't clear their turns?
My how things have changed...

Totally Darwinian...

To kill an error is as good a service as,
and sometimes even better than,
the establishing of a new truth or fact.
