EXTREME SPORTS:

PARAGLIDING

FERNANDO ROMERO BARTOLO

RIKI CARRETERO HURTADO
INTRODUCTION
It is a sport born in the late
twentieth century, by the
inventiveness of mountaineers
that wanted to fly down by
parachute from the peaks that
had climbed. The technical
definition would be something
like this: flexible lightweight
glider. Glider because there is
not engine and flexible
because there are not rigid
parts that make up the wing, so
it can to be transported in the
trunk of a car. The weight of the
whole team is usually around
15-20 kg.
 EQUIPMENT
The pilot and occasionally the
paragliding passenger will be
equipped with the obligatory
safety equipment, helmets and
emergency parachutes, and
with various electronic
instruments: variometer or
altivario, GPS and radio
equipment

 PREVENTION
Due to the turbulence of the air in the fall, it can produce bends that
deform the wing profile, thus losing the ability of movement. If the
incident occurs at a sufficient height, it will normally be possible to
return to the natural flight configuration, but if not, the last resort is to
use a very basic parachute for an emergency case that rarely occurs.
