Paragliding is a flying sport invented by a group of pilots who love skydiving and hang gliding. It is very popular in Europe, America, Japan and other countries. Unlike a traditional parachute, a paraglider is a flying machine.

A brief introduction to gliding:

1. Gliding is the use of air buoyancy to glide in the air without relying on power.

2. Paragliders have hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts around the world. A flying parachute is a combination of a parachute and a glider, that is, a complex that improves the high-altitude square parachute into a performance close to that of a glider.

3. Paragliding is a sport that does not require a lot of physical strength, and the full set of equipment only weighs about 20 kilograms. Paragliders are free-flying machines that usually take off from alpine slopes, but can also be towed.

4. Paragliders take off and land with both feet, and the equipment used is very different from the parachutes used for skydiving in airplanes.

5. Modern paragliders can climb to more than 4,000 meters above sea level, and the maximum straight-line flight distance has exceeded 400 kilometers.

What is the charm of gliding, which is loved by many young people?

1. Relieve stress.

According to recent research, paragliding is one of the most stress-relieving sports. This high-intensity exercise can help you focus and forget about all the worries in the world or any stress in your daily life.

2. Build confidence.

Gliding is a life-changing experience for everyone.

After skydiving, you will find that you are different, some people are more open, confident, and can even try more daring sports.

3. A new perspective on the problem.

Challenge yourself and try new things is the way to learn new things every day.

Gliding will give you a whole new perspective and make you understand that nothing in life is insurmountable.

Gliding can make us feel different, but there are certain dangers associated with gliding. So, what are the precautions for paragliders?

1. Gliding is a high-risk sport, so you must find professional clubs and coaches.

2. It is strictly forbidden to slide after being overworked.

3. There should be no heart disease, fear of heights, hypertension and other diseases that are not suitable for high-altitude exercise, and the age should not be too high or too low.

4. Reduce the difficulty of flying within the range of flying skill levels.

5. The ground training time before the first flight is not less than 10 hours.

6. Data collection, warm-up exercises and preparatory activities must be carried out before the flight, including collecting weather information, choosing a take-off location, etc.

7. Pre-flight inspections include: Inspecting the umbrella for tears, punctures and abrasions.

Check whether there are foreign objects such as sand and gravel in the umbrella, so as not to affect the flight performance. Check the rope for tangles or frays.

Check the connection between the parachute rope and the control belt, and the connection between the control rope and the collar; check whether the wireless communication is effective.
