What is paragliding?
Paragliding is a recreational and competitive sport that involves flying a lightweight, foot-launched glider. It is often compared to flying like a bird, as pilots can soar for hours at a time using only the natural lift of the air. This adventure sport is a form of free flight, which means that the pilot is not attached to a motor or other propulsion system. Instead, the glider is launched by running off a hill or cliff, or by using a tow from a vehicle or winch. The harness of the paraglide is attached to the pilot’s body using suspension lines and controlled by shifting the body weight and manipulating the wing’s brake lines.
