How is parasailing different from parachuting?
Para-gliding is a form of flying above ground using a harness and a small sail. The harness allows you to fly. It protects you from falling through the air.
You don't need any equipment to fly. Attach yourself to the sail. Then, you can take off. As you ascend, the wind pushes against your sail. This causes it to lift you.
You glide along the ground and keep moving forward. Your momentum keeps you moving forward until you reach a cable's end. You release your grip at that point and return to the earth.
If you're ready, reattach your sail.
Parasailing is a rapidly growing sport. 2013 saw parasailing reach more than 1,000,000. This is nearly double the amount who did it in 2008.
