About the Activity

Paragliding, a recreation of gliding parachutes with structural emendation that enhances their gliding skills. paragliders retain no rigorous framework; the parachute canopy works as a wing and is designed of fabric cells with openings at the beginning that allow them to be enhanced by direction through the air.
The pilot is terminated in a seated harness and operates the wing through cables connected to the trailing frontier of the paraglider. These cables may be conducted individually to whirl the paraglider or simultaneously to affect angle and momentum. Liftoff and landing are on foot and usually arise on a mountain. To liftoff, the pilot early increases the wing by grabbing it up like a kite and accordingly runs down the landing area until the gliding momentum has been achieved.
