Paragliding
Paragliding (known in some countries as parapenting) is a recreational and competitive flying sport. A paraglider is a free-flying, foot-launched aircraft, the way a hang glider is. It is quite different from the parachutes used in parasailing, which is a passive amusement ride where the participant is towed on a line behind a boat.
