Para-gliding allows you to fly above the ground with a harness attached by a small sail. You can fly with the harness. It protects you from falling through the air.
Flying requires no special equipment. Attach yourself to the sail. You then take off. As you gain altitude, the wind pushes against the sail. This makes it lift you.
As you glide along the ground, you keep moving forward. Your momentum will propel you forward until the cable ends. At that point, you release your grip and fall back to earth.
You can reattach the sail when you are ready to begin again.
Parasailing is rapidly growing. 2013 saw parasailing reach more than 1,000,000. This is almost twice the number of people who participated in parasailing in 2008

How To
How do I get started with Base Jumping?
Base jumping is also known as parachuting or free-fall. It involves jumping from fixed objects such as buildings, bridges and towers without any equipment. The participant uses their parachute safely to land from the object. It's similar to skydiving but you don’t have to wear a parachute or hold your breath as you wait to open it.
A wingsuit is the most common type base jumper. A wingsuit is composed of two pieces of fabric that are sewn together. One piece covers your chest and arms while the other covers your legs. The jumper wears special boots that allow him/her to stand upright during flight. The jumper pulls on the straps to his/her feet to descend. This causes the material covering the legs and legs to bunch up. This creates a large air pocket underneath the jumper. When this air pocket becomes big enough, the jumper opens his/her parachute and lands safely.
Base jumpers may use powered suits to propel themselves faster through the air. The main components of powered suits include a backpack that contains batteries and a jacket with a jetpack. These small rockets fire small jets of hot-gas at high speeds. This creates thrust that propels the leaper forward. These suits can be noisy and heavy.
BASE jumping can be a dangerous sport. Learn how to BASE Jump. Be aware of the risks. There are several ways to die while doing BASE jumping: you could fall off a steep cliff, hit an obstacle head-on, upside down or collide with another jumper. Although BASE jumping can be dangerous in some cases, it can also prove to be extremely dangerous if done wrong. To avoid injury, check out the following safety tips before attempting to BASE jump.
Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. You should always take a few minutes to get comfortable with the terrain before jumping off a larger one. Watch out for weather conditions. If the wind isn’t blowing, don’t jump. Also, avoid foggy skies. If you see more than 10 feet ahead of yourself, then you might need wait until the cloud clears. Make sure you have all the necessary gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, be sure to have a plan. If something goes wrong, ask someone to help you. Don't ever jump by yourself. Always have someone with you.
