EN 966


According to Dennis Pagen paraphrased in an open meeting here at
the Worlds called to discuss CIVL:


At the last CIVL Plenary the delegates wanted to discuss and vote on the Bureau
decision to adopt the EN 966 standard (what Gerolf characterized as the
paraglider helmet standard) as the only specification allowed for helmets flown
in Category 1 competitions. The CIVL President, John Aldridge, would not allow
this discussion because he said (according to Dennis) that if the delegates did
not trust the Bureau to make this decision, he would resign as the CIVL
President (and no one else wants the job).


So that is why we are required to wear these helmets. I don't mind personally
because I fly with an approved helmet. But I have an un approved helmet that I
would like to fly with, so maybe I'll bring this issue up.
