Introduction to Paragliding
1. What is
paragliding, what is a paraglider?
Paragliding is the simplest form of human flight. A paraglider is a
non-motorized, foot-launched inflatable wing. It is easy to transport, easy to
launch, and easy to land.
The paraglider consists of
a canopy (the actual "wing") constructed of rip-stop nylon from which
the pilot is suspended by sturdy Kevlar lines called risers, and a harness. In
addition, the brake cords provide speed and directional control and carabineers
are used to connect the risers and the harness together.
The pilot sits in a harness
for maximum comfort. With a paraglider, you can fly like a bird, soaring
upwards on currents of air. Paragliders routinely stay aloft for 3 hours or
more, climb to elevations of 15,000', and go cross-country for vast distances.
2. Is paragliding
the same as parasailing or parachuting?
No, it is not the same as parasailing. Parasailing is what you do at a beach.
You are in a modified parachute tied to a boat. The boat drags you around the
harbor. You do not "pilot" a parasail.
No, it is not the same as
parachuting. Parachutes are designed to be deployed during free-fall from an
airplane and to then descend to the ground. By contrast, the paraglider is
designed to be foot-launched from a gentle hillside with the canopy already
opened for flight.
Since paragliders do not
have to withstand the sudden shock of opening at high velocities during
free-fall deployment, they are much lighter and aerodynamic and are designed to
go up rather than down.
3. How is
paragliding different from hang gliding?
