Wh desn't wish he culd fly like a bird? Well, until technlgy can give us all wings, ne f ur best chices is paragliding . Paragliding wrks by sitting in a harness. The harness is tied t a parachute and yu use the wind t fly. T paraglide, yu usually need t g smewhere high, like a hill r muntain. The pilt will first make the parachute full f air by pulling it up like a kite, and then it's time t run dwn the hillside until yu reach a gd speed t take ff. Unless yu have a special license t d it yurself, yu will fly with a pilt.
I went paragliding in Peru's Sacred Valley, frm a muntain mre than 3, 000 meters abve sea level. The mst difficult part f paragliding fr me was nt the flying, but the waiting. I started t feel nervus abut watching thers g ahead f me. But the pilt helped keep me cmpsed. S I didn't feel nervus.
On an average paragliding trip, yu can expect t enjy flying like a bird fr 10 t 30 minutes. Then it's time t land. I remember the pilt tld me t get my legs ready, as landing n yur legs is the safest way t land-just like a bird.
Paragliders have set sme amazing recrds, like the highest flight (9, 946 meters) and the lngest flight (9, 132 km).
