OK I have a couples of thoughts Questions. So I have thought about the subject of Flying and the Self proclaimed Organization known as USPS. I am referring to what is the purpose of USHPA? For that matter what was the Purpose for the initiation of USHGA Association or any other Organization? Is it so that money can be derived By Pilots so as to purchase Insurance for Pilots? So if I understand it z insurance is to pay for Damages that could possibly occur if a Pilot due to an error in His or Her's Piloting caused damage to a third Party, or to another Hang glide, Structure, or an person on the ground. You get the point, was this how the idea of Insurance for Pilots who Flew their were sold on the idea of needing USHGA, or USHPA, or who knows what it will be called when The Organization is Compromised when They once again absorb yet another Start-Up new type of Flying, a new type of Aircraft. Looking back to when Paragliding was I. It's Infinancy oh back in the 1980s. I wrote a letter to USGA. I stated: Yes, of course We should Help our future Brethren in the Sky in setting up Their pen "Self Sustaining policies Insurance if needed? But absorbing, allowing Paragliders into USHGA is a Recipe for Disaster. For Paraglider Pilots will never fight, act to help us maintain Our Independence. In fact the sheer numbers of Paragliders will overwhelm us. Ok, so when I voiced My Concerns My thoughts fell on Deaf Ears. And today Being that I am Brain Injured. . . .?

It is odd, well to Me it seems a little strange that Never have I seen any posts that address the very real Positive Benifite that where a club could raise money in order to purchase 6 piece of Ground so that They could have a spot their own to Fly.
