I did it for a while a few years back. My conclusion is that it’s probably the safest way to fly ever. The main rule is always be over where you can land in a pinch. They’re a bit different than “regular” aircraft- launching takes practice, and landing is super easy. The funny thing about paramotors is that you can’t control your forward speed much. Give it the gas and you ascend. The engine quits and you just glide down- no drama. The nice thing about powered rather than non powered paragliders is that your not beholden to air dynamics to achieve lift. You can fly on windless days if you can get your wing to inflate, However windless day result in faster (relatively) landing speeds. PPGs are just plain fun!
PM me if you have any questions. I’m not an expert, but I’ll share what I know.
