What would make you run towards the end of a cliff and jump off from it attached only to a thin film of canopy that apparently will help you soar through the skies? Do you normally have this idea? It is not a common thought of fun unless you have "Never Never Land" in mind and you cant detach from that idea of flying with pixie dust, or soaring with an umbrella. There is always something magical when you think of flying, probably because its not a normal activity for humans. Dont let the dreams and magic of flight die, there is a safe, real and easy way to take on the skies and be like a bird of flight even if only for a day. Here are top 5 reasons why you should paraglide:

1. Its the easiest way to fly. After some theoretical and practical training, you are now ready to soar and use the skills you have acquired. Fly as much as you want in your quest to perfect paragliding techniques and be able to go higher and father. No loud engines, void of complicated mechanisms and controls. Transition from beginner to advanced, earning licenses and certifications based on your competency, you will surely find it easy to master the skills and complete flight hours to progress to the next level of expertise.

2. Its a safe sport, and the safety relies on your knowledge of the sport and your skills, combined with the respect for natures elements and common sense. There are actually more risks associated with travelling to and from the launch site, than actual paragliding itself. Training guidelines and activity regulations have minimized the risks making paragliding one of the safest ways to enjoy the feat of flight.

3. You can paraglide with your loved ones and share the experience. Everyone loves and is amazed at the idea of flying, come together with your friends and family to experience this adventure as you individually make your dreams of flying come true. It is a great activity where you can rendezvous, have fun and commune with nature with one common goal - to soar.

4. It is affordable. Paragliding is one of the most affordable sports that entail flying. The rarity of soaring in the sky to man has put much value on the activity as well as a big price tag. Paragliding is evidently the most reasonably priced flying sport since it does not require extensive training such as learning to fly a plane. It does not require participants to have their own gear since it is provided for in the adventure package, though if you do want to continue, equipment is commonly available for purchase through schools or training centres.

5. It is one of the best activities that you can engage in if you long to get away from it all, even for just a day. Quietly soaring into the clear blue sky, with a spectacular sprawling view beneath your feet is one way of escaping the noise of the urban jungle. Focusing on the skills of the sport will void your mind of work.

You may have your own motives for taking up paragliding, however one thing is for sure, it is guaranteed to deliver the thrills, skills, adventure, achievements and memories you long for.
