Paragliding

Paraglide, flying - Lienz, AustriaIn my mind, paragliding is the most interesting way of flying – the flying machine only weighs a couple of kilograms and you can carry it on your back where-ever you need to. You can fly without assistance of anyone else and flying itself does not cost anything, you make no noise (if you fly engineless) and all your body can feel the freedom of the open space. There is nothing better. I have only identified one problem and that is the exposure of the body to potential injuries. I paid my price too when flying in the Highlands of Czech Republic in 2007. It took me quite some time to fully recover and my family forced me to stop paragliding altogether. So I now look forward to my next life when I plan to enjoy paragliding much more intensively.
