How is parasailing different than parachuting
Para-gliding involves flying above the ground using a harness attached to a small sail. This harness allows you fly. It will keep you safe when you are falling through the sky.
Flying is easy with no equipment. All you have to do is attach your self to the sail. Then you take off. As you ascend, the wind pushes against your sail. This makes it lift you.

When you're ready to start again, reattach yourself to the sail.
