How is parasailing different than parachuting
Para-gliding allows you to fly above the ground with a harness attached by a small sail. You can fly with the harness. It helps you stay safe as you fall through air.
You don't need any equipment to fly. All you have to do is attach your self to the sail. Next, take off. As you gain altitude, the wind pushes against the sail. This allows it to lift you.
You keep moving forward, as you glide along ground. You continue to move forward with your momentum until you reach the end. The cable ends and you are free to let go of your grip, and then you fall back to Earth.
When you're ready to start again, reattach yourself to the sail.
The sport of parasailing is growing very fast. In 2013, parasailing was enjoyed by more than 1 million people. This is nearly double the amount who did it in 2008.

How To
How can I start Base Jumping?
Base jumping, also called free-fall parachuting, is a sport in which participants jump from fixed objects, such as cliffs, bridges, towers, and buildings, without any equipment. The participant jumps off the object and uses their parachute to land safely. It's similar to skydiving but you don’t have to wear a parachute or hold your breath as you wait to open it.
The most common type is a wingsuit jumping suit. A wingsuit consists of two pieces, each piece of fabric being sewn together. The chest, arms and legs are covered by one piece and the legs by the other. Special boots are worn by the jumper that allow him/her stand upright in flight. During descent, the jumper pulls the straps attached to his/her feet tight, which causes the material covering the legs to bunch up, creating a large pocket of air underneath the jumper's body. When the air pocket grows large enough, jumpers can open their parachute to land safely.
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, which propels the jumper forward. These suits can be quite loud and heavy.
BASE jumping can be a dangerous sport. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. You could fall off a cliff or hit an obstacle upside-down or head-on. Or you could collide with another jumper. BASE jumping, while not always dangerous is dangerous. However, it can be very dangerous if done improperly. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.
First, practice safe BASE jumping techniques by practicing on a smaller hill. Be sure to spend a few minutes getting used to the terrain before you jump from a higher one. You should also be alert for weather conditions. Make sure the wind doesn't blow in your face when you jump. Foggy skies are another danger. If you can see more then 10ft ahead of you, you may need to wait for the clouds to clear. Third, make sure you have the right gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, ensure you have a plan. If something goes wrong, ask someone to help you. Never, ever jump alone. Always have someone with you.
