How safe is Paragliding?

The best way if paragliding is safe to explain is to begin by saying when it’s safe. In case the weather is stormy and you decide to go out then you are not practicing safe behavior. Lightning can place you, although this could produce the sport unsafe since you aren’t merely dealing with air currents and lifts. When there’s a risk of a thunderstorm even the paragliders will not fly, but there. Paragliding can be safe so long as you make it safe.

Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying Paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing consisting of a large number of interconnected and baffled cells. Wing shape is maintained by its suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside.

What are the procedures for flying?

First of all, put on your paragliding gears,(Harness, safety helmet) attach it with the glider (your pilot will help you to do these) ,gentle run on the sloppy takeoff area and finally soar in the sky with birds.

What types of clothes do I need to wear?

You need to wear light clothes and wind cheater during summer. Whereas warm clothes and gloves for winter and sports shoes or any other foot protective shoes are compulsory for flight.
