What is the difference between parachuting and parasailing?
Para-gliding involves flying above the ground using a harness attached to a small sail. The harness allows for you to fly. It helps you stay safe as you fall through air.
Flying doesn't require any equipment. You simply attach yourself to the sail. Then you take off. The wind pulls the sail against you as you climb in altitude. This allows it to lift you.
As you glide along, your momentum keeps you 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.
Once you are ready to go again, attach the sail to your body.
The sport of parasailing is growing very fast. In 2013, parasailing was enjoyed by more than 1 million people. That's almost double the number who did so in 2008.

How To
How do I begin base jumping?
Base jumping (also known as free-fall parachuting) is a sport where participants jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), such as bridges, towers, buildings, etc., without any equipment attached to them. Jumping off an object is done by the participant. The parachute then helps them land safely. It is similar to skydiving, except that there is no requirement to wear a parachute, nor do you have to hold your breath while waiting to open it.
The most common type is a wingsuit jumping suit. A wingsuit is composed of two pieces of fabric that are sewn together. One piece covers the chest and arms, and the second piece covers the legs. The boots are specially designed to allow the jumper stand upright during flight. The jumper pulls on the straps to his/her feet to descend. This causes the material covering the legs and legs to bunch up. This creates a large air pocket underneath the jumper. This air pocket will grow large enough to allow the jumper to open his/her parachute, and safely land.
To propel themselves higher in the air, some base jumpers use powered suits. Two main components of powered suits are a backpack with batteries and a pack that can be worn underneath the jumper's clothing. These small rockets fire small jets of hot-gas at high speeds. This creates thrust and propels the jumper ahead. These suits can be quite loud and heavy.
BASE jumping is not for everyone. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. There are several ways you could die doing this activity: falling off a cliff, hitting an obstacle head-on or upside down, or colliding with another jumper. Although BASE jumping isn't always dangerous, it can prove very dangerous if done incorrectly. These safety tips will help you avoid injury when BASE jumping.
First, practice safe BASE jumping techniques by practicing on a smaller hill. It is important to take some time to get used to the terrain before you attempt to jump off of a higher hill. You should also be alert for weather conditions. You should not jump when the wind blows in your face. Also, avoid foggy skies. If you see more than 10 feet ahead of yourself, then you might need wait until the cloud clears. Make sure you have all the necessary gear. A helmet, goggles, gloves and a full-suit with a harness are all essential. Fourth, have a plan. For any problems, have someone else follow you. Never jump by yourself. Always have someone with you.
