Overview
Paragliding uses a foot-launched, ram-air canopy that flies with the combined forces of wind, gravity, and the pilot’s steering skills. While gravity pulls it downward, air pressure allows it to rise. By controlling the airflow, the pilot can choose when and where to glide, soar, dive, and safely land.
