I-Paragliyidla imidlalo ethandwayo phakathi kwabantu abanomdla wokungena kwi-precipice xa behleli kwi-harness enamathele kwiphiko lombumba. Lephiko lize litshintshe ukunika inkxaso ukuze ibambe i-pilot ye-pilot njengoko ihamba ngamandla emoyeni ezinyawo ngaphezu komhlaba. Ukusebenzisa uchungechunge lwemigca yokumisa, kunye nokusebenza kwengcinezelo yomoya ukungena kwiphiko, aba baqhubi bahamba ngeemitha kwiiyure ngelo xesha, bewela iikhilomitha ezininzi kwinkqubo.
Kude kube nini kwaye bahamba phi kuxhomekeke kwinxalenye yezakhono zabo ekusebenzeni i-paraglider ukuba basebenzise amathuba omoya. Iinyawo eziqaliswe ngeenqwelo ezindizayo kunye nephiko elingenalo i-motorized gonflable is aventure-flying flying.
Iphiko le-paraglider lisoloko lenziwe ngeyiloni yokusila kunye neqhotyoshelwe kwi-harness ngee-Kevlar. Iiplani zeephiko ziyakwazi ukuhluka ngohlobo lwesimo kunye nobukhulu kodwa zenziwe ngamacandelo amabini endwangu edibeneyo ukwenzela ukuba benze iiseli ukuba zigibe umoya ongenawo, oza kuphazamisa iphiko kwaye igcine umqhubi wecala.
Ukubona indlela eyingozi ngayo i-paragliding adventure, bukela le nxalenye ye- Nightline malunga nabalandeli ababini abaye banyuka kwiNtaba ye-Everest ngo-201, baza bavela kwi-summit. Baya kuhamba malunga nemizuzu engama-42 ngaphambi kokuba bahambe kwiimitha ezili-15 ukusuka kwidolophana yaseNamche Bazaar. Emva kokuhamba, bathatha uhambo lokuhamba ngeekhilomitha ezili-500 ukuya kuMlambo waseGanges ukuya e-Indian Ocean. Le ntsikelelo ekhethekileyo yathola uSanobabu Sunuwar kunye noLakpa Tshiri Sherpa ngo-2012 iNational Geographic Abahlaziyili beNyaka.
Iinkampani ezininzi zinika i-parandli ye-tandem kulabo bafuna ukwenza i-flight yabo yokuqala baze bafunde kabanzi malunga nomsebenzi. Ezinye iinkampani zeparagliding zize zinikeze i-paraglide enikwe amandla ngexesha apho umqhubi ehleli esihlalweni se-harness kwaye unomqhubi oxhunyiwe kwi-fan enkulu kwi-backpack yakhe.
I-Paragliding kwi-Skis naseParahawking
Iparaglidi inokubonelela ngamava athile okhethekileyo.
Ngokomzekelo, kukho enye enye indlela yezemidlalo eyenza abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya bakwazi ukunyuka kwi-tandem glider kuma-thermals akhethwe yinyoni yexhoba-njengotshanga okanye i-hawk-ekhokelela kuzo zonke iindiza. Ngezinye izihlandlo, umhlaba weentaka kwisandla somqhubi wesigxina ngokukhawuleza uyabulela ukunyamekela ukulungiselela i-paraglider esibhakabhakeni. Le ndlela engavamile yokupaka i-paragliding inqabileyo kwaye ibizwa ngokuba yi-parahawking.
I-Paragliding ngokusebenzisa i-mountain passes e-Alps, kwaye ke ukuhamba ngekhephu ngaphambi kokuba usuqhekeza kude kube yinto evuyisayo kubaqhubi. Nantsi umfanekiso we-paragliding e-Megeve, eFransi, apho le ndlela ehlukile yemidlalo iyinto eqhelekileyo.
Nangona kungekhona i-paragliding yezobuchwephesha, abathile be-skier baya kubamba kwi-kite, ngoko banokukrwela iikhilomitha kwiqhwa kunye neqhwa, ngokukhawuleza bephakama emoyeni njengoko behamba. I-Snowkiting yinto enye yangaphambili ye-adventure endizayo, nangona abathathi-nxaxheba abazange bafikelele kwiindawo eziphakamileyo njengeparagliders.
IiVideos zeParagliding Flights kunye neeRa
Ukuze ufumane ingqiqo yendlela iparagliding neparhawking efana ngayo, jonga ezi vidiyo. Impawu zokuqala ziPhambili ze-Red Bull X-Alps 2011 ukhuphiswano lwe-adventure apho abaqhubi beemoto kunye nabaqhubi beempazamo bafuna ukuqhubela phambili kwiSalzburg, e-Austria ukuya kwiBukhosi yaseMonaco basebenzisa kuphela i-paraglider ne-hiking boots.
Ezinye zezinto ezibonakalayo kwiwebhu, njengoko ama-racers ahamba ngeMatterhorn kwaye aphakame ngaphezu kwezinye iintaba e-Alps, unokubuza imibuzo yobungqina balabo bathatha inxaxheba kumcimbi. Ividiyo elandelayo i-flight yeTelluride, iColorado, kunye ne-Telluride Air Force, ngelixa iyokugqibela isuka kwi-Bridal Falls Air Races.
