In 2019, I broke my arm landing my hang glider during my first visit to Monroe, Utah. Four years later, I returned to Monroe to face my fears and try again during my second ever hang gliding competition.
To get a head start on any debate ;) I believe letting go of the hang glider control frame during a high energy crash is inadvisable as it opens pilots to potential head/neck injuries from hitting the keel. Based on my current knowledge, hugging the high side of the control frame is a better strategy in general if you're about to crash.
And, yes paragliders are easier to land, no that doesn't automatically make them safer compared to hang gliders. Unfortunately there's no good data to support either argument on the safety question.
