ー FAQs ー

Q: How safe is paragliding?

A: Paragliding has been developed over the past 30 years, with technology
evolving several times. There are comprehensive testing and inspection
standards in place. The parachute wing can automatically recover within
seconds after encountering turbulence or folding. Under the seat cushion, a
15-centimeter-thick sponge or 30-centimeter-thick airbag provides cushioning,
and a spare parachute is included for emergency self-rescue. Today’s
paragliding equipment is highly advanced and safe.

Q: I saw other paragliders flying very high, but the instructor didn’t take me
to fly high. Why is that?

A: A paraglider is an unpowered aircraft and cannot ascend like an airplane.
It relies on rising thermal air currents to gain altitude. These currents are
intermittent, with varying speeds, diameters, and peaks. The paragliders
flying high likely caught a strong thermal current, which is a matter of luck.
Although the instructor aims to fly higher, the altitude achieved is
unpredictable.

Q: What should I do with the instructor?

A: Cooperation with the instructor is crucial during takeoff. Wear appropriate
shoes for running. When the instructor says "Run, run, run," sprint forward
until your feet leave the ground and you fly out of the takeoff area. Some
passengers sit down in fear or temporarily lift their feet due to strong
winds, but this must be avoided. Sitting down or stopping the movement can
prevent takeoff, potentially causing the pair to fall and roll down the
hillside. Keep your feet down during takeoff, and even if airborne
temporarily, be ready to run again until you are clear of the takeoff field.

Q: Can I bring a camera or phone to take pictures?

A: It is strongly discouraged to bring your own camera or phone, as they may
be damaged due to falls or other accidents. If you must take pictures, use a
mobile phone (with your own selfie stick), but securely attach it to your seat
bag or wear it around your neck with a rope. The club is not responsible for
any damage or loss.
