Overview
Paragliding uses a foot-launched, ram-air canopy that flies by harnessing wind, gravity, and the pilot’s control. While gravity pulls it downward, air pressure allows it to rise. By skillfully managing air pressure, the pilot can steer the paraglider to soar, dive, and maneuver through the sky, ultimately landing safely.
