FAQ
What is the difference between parachuting and parasailing?
Para-gliding allows you to fly above the ground with a harness attached by a small sail. This harness allows you fly. It will keep you safe when you are falling through the sky.
Flying requires no special equipment. All you have to do is attach your self to the sail. You then take off. As you gain altitude, the wind pushes against the sail. This allows it to lift you.
You glide along the ground and keep moving forward. Your momentum will propel you forward until the cable ends. At that point, you release your grip and fall back to earth.
Once you are ready to go again, attach the sail to your body.
The sport of parasailing is growing very fast. More than 1 million people participated in parasailing in 2013. This is almost twice the number of people who participated in parasailing in 2008
