In a desire to conquer the skies men continue to search for new and more exotic ways to experience the freedom of flight. |

When the concept of Power Paragliding was first explained to me a number of troubling thoughts exploded in my mind. What diminished level of mental consciousness did it require to strap an airplane propeller on your back, power it with a glorified string trimmer engine, connect it to a modified parachute and determine you could fly with the birds. Now that I have discussed and observed the various aspects of the concept in practice, it is totally logical and in reality a relatively simple process. That in no way means that one should attempt Power Paragliding without expert advise and training from a knowledgeable and experienced instructor. Again logic is applicable as any action that demands you leave the ground is "dangerous" and should be considered a "hazard to your health" unless every safety aspect associated with the endeavor/sport/concept is understood and practiced, and still there are no guarantees. This is in no way a promotion for Power Paragliding as what one chooses to do with their time is an individual decision just as being responsible for ones actions is completely relegated to the individual. I would recommend that you spend time observing these experienced daredevils of the high wire as they perform their antics with ease across the sky before making any personal determination. Previously when I looked into the sky I would see something in the distance and wonder if it was a bird, a plane, or even Superman; now I know it is just another Power Paraglider experiencing the freedom of flight by a new exotic method, just as the Wright Brothers did over eighty years ago. |
