10 Facts You Did Not Identify About Paragliding
All the adventurists out there must have related to it immediately. However, “Darr sbko lgta hai, Gala sbka sukhta hai”, there is this adrenaline rush that would always stop you from taking the dare. So if that trip to Bir Billing is pending for a long time, here is a list of 10 Facts that you might not know about one such sport, Paragliding. 1. It Is Not Hang-Gliding 2. It Is Definitely Not Parasailing 3. It Is Not As Dangerofus As You Think It Is 4. NASA Named It 5. You Will Be More Comfortable Than You Are Right Now 6. You Have Gas And Brakes 7. It Can Take You To Cross The Whole Country Will Gadd, the paragliding champ holds the world record for a 263 miles long paragliding flight. Most paraglider flights for less than 30 minutes, depending on weather conditions. But if you have the skill, you can travel long distances exploiting thermal columns of rising air. 8. Pilots Are Almost Never Injured Due To Failure In Equipment 9. Speed Is Not Needed 10. Feeling Vulnerable Is Not Bad Paragliding in general, is a very safe activity, as long as you are learning from a professional. It is also easy to start with. However, some beginners can slip into an over-confident state that it is a damn easy sport. Instructors usually call this “intermediate syndrome.” So although, we want you to have a lot of fun up in the air, do not ever let your guard down. As a matter of fact, more than 90% of injuries happen during the first 10 flights. In order to avoid any kind of accident, you need to fully adopt the safety techniques your instructors have taught you. I hope all those who were in the edge of their decision of doing paragliding are all set to fly high. After all, “The first step to learning how to fly is realising that YOU CAN.”
