One of the most extreme types of
Adventure Sport is the Paragliding. It is a recreational and a very competitive
form of adventure sport. The pilot sits in the equipment which is suspended
below with a fabric wing
comprising a large number of interconnected baffled cells. Wing shape is
maintained by the 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. Despite not having an engine, a Para glider’s flight can last for many
hours and can travel hundreds of kilometers. By skillful exploitation of
sources of lift, the pilot may gain height, often climbing to altitudes of
a few thousand meters.
