SKETCHY Paragliding TAKE OFF
Paragliding take off in sketchy conditions from a small take off area! Warning this paragliding video can cause serious addiction to hike and fly paragliding!
In this POV paragliding video I launch from a relatively small paragliding take off on a high mountain summit. Wind was on and off all the time making ground handling and take off extra complicated. I tried throw and go take off but wind was just not right for it, so I had to battle with ground handling on sharp mountain peak. As with every paragliding take off - rocks on the ground are one of the the biggest nightmares. If one of the tiny paragliding lines catch on the rock and sudden wind gust pulls your paraglider off the ground you can quickly end up with snapped line or even ripped paragliding wing! Flying with damaged wing or lines is calling for paragliding gone wrong scenario! In order to stay on the safe side of paragliding it is important to always remain calm and stay focused. Calm and focused.
Paragliding is an adventure sport that involves flying lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft (aka paraglider) with no rigid primary structure. The pilot sits in a harness which is connected to a wing. Paragliding wings allow us to fly from mountains and explore our beautiful earth from above!
Hike and fly is a hybrid adventure sport combining hiking and paragliding. Idea is to hike up to a mountain or hill with paragliding gear in backpack, and once reaching a suitable launch site or specific paragliding take off , you simply take off and fly.
