Beginner Paragliding Tips
Beginner Paragliding Tips

Knowing
some beginner paragliding tips will help in having a great time during
paragliding! These tips are simple and easy to remember. Anyone who begins
paragliding is looking for a great time to fly in the air without having to
free fall too dramatically. Just as long as you keep a few things in mind,
you'll be sure to have a high-flying time.
- Your instructor. Having a good
paragliding instructor is rather important. However, it doesn't matter how
nice they are to you and how much they make you laugh. Something to check
for is seeing if your paragliding instructor is a USHGA Certified Basic or
Advanced Paragliding Instructor. These instructors go through rigorous
training to make sure you know each and every detail that is involved with
paragliding.
- Steady winds. For beginning
paragliding, its important that you do not make any flights in steady
winds of twelve miles per hour or less. When winds get heavy during a
flight, it can be very dangerous. The wind can twist the cables in the
unit as well as cause the pilot to steer off course. It requires advanced
skill to stay on course during a heavy and steady wind.
- Understand the slopes.
For beginning
paragliding pilots, its best to start off by foot launching. This is done
by running down a slope and letting the wind take the canopy as you fly.
However, if you are just starting out, its best to stick to slopes with 3:1
- 4:1 ratio. Its also good to keep in mind that wind should only be about
fifteen degrees of being straight up the slope. Any slope greater than
this will cause you a tough time in controlling the sale.
- No obstructions. With foot launching,
it's also extremely important to avoid anything that you may run into.
Once the wind takes the canopy and begins lifting you, it's hard to stop
the gliding forward. Be sure to pick out a spot with little to no
obstructions within sixty degrees to either side of the intended flight
path.
- The canopy. Whichever canopy you
choose to use for paragliding be sure to read the manufacturer's
recommendations for use. Typically, they will suggest certain canopies for
beginning paragliders and other canopies for more advanced gliders.
Beginning canopies are much more simple and allow the new pilot to simply
focus on practicing with steering and not going too high up in the air.

We generally see scuba diving as a fun sports
activity that we are simply passionate about.
To become a good scuba diver we need to
receive professional training and then get into the water. That is true,
but that is not all.
We need to always remember a few important aspects
of diving, and we can never afford to forget the safety rules while indulging
in this fun sport.
Safety stop is something we need to be cautious
about. It is recommended at the end of each dive and mandatory for deeper
dives.
Let us look at this safety rule in detail and
understand it so that we can be tension free.
DECOMPRESSION SICKNESS
We know while
diving that we do not have access to free air and have to depend on compressed
air. While breathing the compressed air underwater, nitrogen gets accumulated
in our blood. The nitrogen then gradually gets absorbed into the tissues as the
dive continues.
As we start to ascend, nitrogen starts getting
dispersed from the tissues as a result of decreasing pressure of air on the
tissue. However, ascending too fast will reduce the pressure very rapidly and nitrogen
will try to get washed quickly.
Therefore, there will be a greater pressure
differential which will cause nitrogen bubble formation in the tissues and
blood vessels.
These nitrogen bubbles trapped in our body will
result in Decompression Sickness.
THE STOP
Doing a safety stop is not tough. You simply have
to stop on the way up to the surface and stay at around 5 meters/15 feet for 3
minutes. If you find it difficult to maintain the same level, then use an
anchor- or bottom line to hold on to. If you do not have a line, you might find
it easier to stay at 6 meters/19 feet rather then 4-5 meters/ 15 feet. This is
due to the larger changes in the pressure at the lower depth. Remember to watch your depth gauge or dive computer to make sure you stay at the right depth, and
do not accidentally pop up to the
surface.
WHEN TO DO A SAFETY STOP
Although in shorter dives in shallow water we may
miss the safety stop, it is highly recommended for all dives. In that way we
will become accustomed to this simple safety rule.
However, when we go deeper, like 30 meters/100 feet
or more, we can not give it a miss. While engaging in this kind of diving, we
may need to be ready for an emergency safety stop depending on the situation. Remember
when you are doing a safety stop, it is important to maintain good buoyancy for
the entire span of the stop to avoid depth changes. After you have completed
the safety stop, you still need to rise slowly to the surface. While ascending,
always maintain a speed of no more than 18 meters/60 feet per minute. In any
case, for deep dives we cannot avoid safety stops. The safety stop is rather a decompression
stop which allows a more controlled off-gassing and helps immensely in avoiding
any discomfort. It keeps our dive as pleasant as desired by us. By now we
should all understand the extreme important of performing a safety stop. Right?
Therefore, remember to include this important act in your every dive and stay
safe.
