Paragliding involves gliding over rivers, mountains, planes, etc. suspended from a paraglide.

A paraglide is composed of a harness, a fabric and elastic wires that are used to attach a person to the harness. The first step in paragliding is to attach oneself securely to the harness that is fastened to the fabric, which acquires the desired shape once it is suspended in the air. For beginners, paragliding can be an appalling sport. In fact, trying anything for the first time causes apprehension and fear but once you have excelled at it, it becomes joyous and favorable. The same goes for Paragliding. It may seem a very dangerous sport, but once you have perfected the art of soaring above the skies, with the help of nothing but a piece of fabric and a harness, then you would realize the true joy of paragliding.
