Coming into contact with an overhead line can be fatal.

If you are involved in aerial sports such as hang gliding, parachuting, paragliding, flying drones, kiting, ballooning or microlights then make sure you are aware of the following key safety precautions.

Staying Safe In The Air

  • Find out the location of the Northern Ireland electricity network. Where possible, aerial sports clubs should display maps showing the location of overhead lines.
  • Navigate from a map that shows all overhead lines as electricity lines, especially those on wooden poles which are difficult to identify from the air.
  • Instruct club members in rescue and first aid procedures.
