How does the sport of parasailing differ from parachuting?

Para-gliding allows you to fly above the ground with a harness attached by a small sail. This harness allows you fly. The harness keeps you safe if you fall through the air.

You don't need any equipment to fly. Simply attach your body to the sail. Then, you can take off. As you ascend, the wind pushes against your sail. This forces the sail to lift you.

As you glide along the ground, you keep moving forward. Your momentum propels you forward until you reach its end. At that point, you release your grip and fall back to earth.

When you're ready to start again, reattach yourself to the sail.

The sport of parasailing is growing very fast. 2013 saw parasailing reach more than 1,000,000. This is almost twice the number of people who participated in parasailing in 2008
