Paragliding is popular in many countries throughout the world. The minimum age that one can legally participate is 14. There is no maximum age limit as there is with parachute jumping. Paragliding is actually considered one of safest of the “extreme” sports. This is because the speed of the flight is slowest of any form of human flight. The sail is directly over the participant, and the ability to slow one’s descent is controlled by wires directly attached to the sail above.
