OUR PARAGLIDING COURSES
Learn, Progress, Escape
HANG GLIDING, PARACHUTE, PARAGLIDING:
NOT TO BE CONFUSED !
If these 3 air sports use a sail to glide through the air, they are totally different in their sensations and their ability to fly.
Parachutingor free fall is performed from an airplane or helicopter to jump into the void.We are therefore talking about a parachute jump.
In paragliding, we take off from a mountain or favorable terrain well oriented with respect to the wind. The difference with the parachute is thatyou don't fall: you fly, you slide, you stay stable in the air to fly as long as possible in the sky.
Ahang glideris also a flying machine, without an engine and with a foot take-off like a paraglider. One of the differences is that in hang gliding, theposition is lying down,facing the ground with more feeling of speed. The structure is rigid and triangular whereas with the paraglider the sail is flexible.
