Scares And Thrills To Be Found In The Air

  • 7 years ago
The last thing you want to have happen to you when you go paragliding is for your parachute to flip on you. That's what happened to one glider when he banked a little too hard and flipped over his wing. Fortunately, he was able to correct the problem and land safely.

For more wind sports, we go to Instinct Windsports in Ontario, Canada. A woman went on a tandem hang gliding ride with instructor Mark Dowsett. When he offered the "roller coaster" option, she was reluctant but agreed. While she ended up screaming her head off, she must have enjoyed it because she felt like going again.

If you're interested in checking out more about hang gliding and paragliding, you can go to USHPA and HPAC.
