How is parasailing different than parachuting
Para-gliding involves flying above the ground using a harness attached to a small sail. The harness allows you to fly. It keeps you safe when you're falling through the air.
Flying is easy with no equipment. Simply attach your body to the sail. Next, take off. The wind pulls the sail against you as you climb in altitude. This makes it lift you.
As you glide along the ground, you keep moving forward. Your momentum carries you forward until you reach the end of the cable. You then release your grip to fall back to the ground.
If you're ready, reattach your sail.
Parasailing has been growing rapidly. 2013 saw more than 1,000,000 people partake in parasailing. This is almost twice the number of people who participated in parasailing in 2008
