What Is the Maximum Wind Speed for Safe Paragliding?

The maximum wind speed for safe paragliding is generally between 12-20 mph (19-32 km/h). Stronger winds increase the risk of unstable conditions and make it difficult for pilots to control the glider, potentially leading to unsafe landings.

Is There a Weight Limit for Solo Paragliding?

There is typically a weight limit of around 220 lbs (100 kg) for solo paragliding. This limit helps ensure the paraglider and equipment can safely take off, fly, and land. Tandem paragliding flights often have a higher weight capacity to accommodate two people.

How Do I Get Certified to Paraglide Without a Guide?

To get certified for solo paragliding without a guide, one must complete a comprehensive training program that covers equipment, weather, launch techniques, and safety procedures. This typically requires multiple flights under the supervision of an experienced instructor.

Can I Bring My Own Paragliding Equipment on the Flight?

You can’t bring your own paragliding equipment on the tandem flight. The activity requires using the operator’s gear, and they provide the necessary safety equipment like harnesses, helmets, and flying suits. Bringing your own gear isn’t allowed for this experience.
