Incident Reports (Informal)

All incident reports submitted via the new FIDA pan Europe incident reporting system after 21 January 2026 that have been approved for publication can be found below. This page will also slowly include a growing list of older incident report summaries.

Unfortunately, whilst all our old incident reports were successfully imported into the FIDA database by our German colleagues, they failed to include the status of the "publish" field used to determine if it can be made available on our website. As a result around 1,400 old reports now have to be reviewed and cross checked before they can appear here. This is a painfully slow process, and is likely to take some time to complete.

In the meantime a full list of all incident reports submitted via the old Euro system and passed for publication is available on our Incident reports Archive page

Incident reports are available in summary form for the following wing types:

Incident reports speedflyer/miniwing will be displayed here in summary form as soon as they become available.

The BHPA incident reports database is fully searchable. To refine your search you can specify a particular wing type and select "or" or "and". For example, if you want to search for paraglider incidents at Hay Bluff, for best search results select paraglider from the drop down list and the "and" option.

If you want to search by incident date, please enter the day, month and year numerically as dd-mm-yyyy (eg. 03-12-2019).
