independent flight possible for almost
everybody. The technical simplicity, the
mobility of the wing and the ease of
learning the basic flight techniques have
all combined to make paragliding appear
simple and straightforward.
As long as you fly with the necessary
respect for the demands and dangers,
then these ideals of paragliding will be
fulfilled. You should decide for yourself
whether conditions are suitable before you
proceed with the flight. You should always
be aware that any kind of air sport is
potentially dangerous if you overstep the
natural and physical laws, whether from
ignorance or unreasonableness.
“Probably there are only a few sports
where success requires, besides physical
fitness, understanding the processes in
nature to such a high degree - a fact
which distinguishes paragliding as sport
especially.”* The charm of flying lies in
“understanding the processes in nature”,
because you have to try again and again
to fathom the logic and fly with regard to
the decisions you make.
If you want to realise the dream of flying,
the dream of free movement in the air, fly
not to impress others - fly for the sheer joy
of it.
We at UP wish you delightful, beautiful
and accident free flying with your UP Kibo!
SEE YOU UP IN THE SKY –
