Is it dangerous...?
Not as much as paragliding is - email me for details
Nearly all accidents occur due to pilot error and even so hang gliding is no more dangerous than climbing or skiing. According to insurance statistics hang gliding is safer than "accepted" sports like horse riding and diving. Certainly while you are undergoing training the risks are extremely small.
