It's content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn't have helped, won't help now. It's like saying you're a bad designer, use less bold text, don't use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that's not all that it takes to get things back on track.

There are a few different components. When you look at a paraglider, you will see the canopy (the wing), risers, the harness, and carabiners (used to connect the harness and risers together). You will also notice break cords, which allow both speed and direction control

This can be challenging to decide between because it really depends on the type of paragliding experience you are striving to have. For a quick reference, if you plan on hiking up a mountain to jump off or want to travel often, then Airbag would be the better choice. If you’re going to stick to local sites with less walking involved, then Bumpair would be the ideal route to go.

There are several brands and types that you can choose from. But in general, there are two categories, open-faced or full-faced. Open-faced is the cheaper and lighter option and gives you more that “open” feel since your face is exposed. The full-faced is a bit heavier but allows for more safety features. Some even come with intercom systems inside for communication perks.

A Variometer is a device that monitors the rate you climb or descent through air pressure changes. It basically helps you keep track of where you are in the sky and whether you should lift up, go down, or maintain current stats accordingly. 

Your reserve pack is your second lifeline in case of an emergency, so making sure that it is inspected and repacked annually is vital for safety. When you are an avid flyer, chances are your reserve pack will have a collection of moisture, dirt, or fabric damages that can prevent it from doing its job when you need it the most. 

Though you will be flying in the air, you still need to make sure your body is in proper shape for this sport. As a rule of thumb, you should be less than 250 pounds, be able to run for take-off, and have strong leg traits for landing/absorbing the impact. Before starting, try some leg, core, and arm workouts 1-2 months beforehand to build up the necessary physical elements. If you are going to be a hiker as well, then more stamina and muscle training may be required.

As a recreational sport, yes, there is some risk. But in perspective, there are risks involved with any sport. Paragliding is only dangerous when the pilot is not being cautious or is not prepared. When you take the time to properly train mentally and physically, equip yourself with quality-gear, and keep a positive mindset, you are setting yourself up to be optimally safe.

Even with annual maintenance and inspections, eventually, your paraglider will need to be replaced. Over time the wear and tear and the deterioration from UV light all add up. Though when this will happen varies significantly, a ball-park replacement guideline is somewhere between 200-300 hours of flight time.
