Sport Junkies Need To Know Before Fly On Air
Things You Should Know Before You Go Paragliding 1. It's Not As Dangerous As It Seems In the first place, you're connected thoroughly to the wing by at least 30 lines. These are strong enough to support your weight. If you're at a decently sufficient altitude (greater than 700 feet or so), the ride will be absolutely safe. The danger lies in being too close to the ground because that causes your parachute to not have enough time to inflate in the proper way before you land back on the ground. 2. It Was Named This By NASA Leonardo Da Vinci might have designed the first parachute, but it was NASA that helped design and name it as the paraglider. In 1961, a French engineer named Pierre Lemoigne initiated it by cutting strategically placed vents in a parachute. 3. It's Not To Be Misunderstood As Parasailing Parasails are more importantly as just parachutes and they are utilized by individuals being towed by boats at the beach.They get only as high as a few hundred feet at the most. It's a far more dynamic and active experience but different from paragliding and not a synonym to it. 4. Paragliding in Himachal Pradesh in India Of all places in India, Paragliding in Himachal is an experience of flight that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the country. A particular place in Himachal is specialized and renowned only for it. Bir is a village situated in the western area of Joginder Nagar Valley in the North Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is mostly referred to as the "Paragliding Capital of India". Bir Billing Paragliding is not only famous all over India but it is also an acclaimed centre for ecotourism along with spiritual studies and meditation. Thus, Paragliding is not an adventure sport only for the sport junkies. In fact it is one of those sports that should be tried sportingly and with no fears. One should strike it off the travel bucket list at the earliest with no further delay. It is indeed a one in a lifetime experience. So, pack your bags and head straight up north to fly high and touch the clouds!
