It's the best thing you can do with your clothes on, lol. And extremely safe. I've been flying for 4+ years and I never even twisted an ankle. Actually, if you like adrenalin, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. I did skydiving for many years before discovering paramotoring, and they are completely unrelated activities. Yes, you can do high speed flying and "slalom" with your paramotor, but 98% of us don't. It's a contemplation sport. Like going on a bike ride or jetski ride with your friends, but in 3 dimensions. It's all about the views, soaking up the scenery, and having a good time in the sunset or in the sunrise. If you live near the beach, you can fly all day; if you live in the countryside, you'll probably fly early in the mornings or in the sunset, due to the lower thermal activity (it gets bumpy otherwise). If your engine fails ... you have a huge "parachute" that sails 6 meters forward for ever meter down. Actually, every single landing we do, we are either with our engine completely shutdown or idling. I've had 3 malfuctions in these 4 years; as long as you're flying watching your "safety cone", you'll slowly glide to a pleasant landing. If your main glider fails (they don't, but our main enemies are kites; their lines can cut through our lines like butter), you still have a reserve chute that you can throw as a last resort. If you fly over water, equip yourself with flotation devices. There are many specific to paramotors that inflate automatically. What defines the sport is the wing you choose. You'll get trained by an instructor, and he'll guide you to the best wing according to your weight and desires in the sport. Basically: - Get professional training; - Get a good equipment and a wing suited to your weight; - Don't fly over water without flotation; - Always watch your "safety cone" in the event of an engine out; - Don't fly spirals near the ground (don't be a showoff); - Beware of your weather forecast and land if winds go over your comfort speed; You literally become a drone (mine is getting dust and never flies anymore). It's incredible. If you have the chance, get yourself trained, you'll add a whole other dimension to your life.
