In response to message posted by brisbaneartist:The kind of paragliding that's done over water, uses boats to get the rider into the air. In the mountains, hang gliders aren't attached by guide ropes to anything. They take a running leap off the edge of an elevation, and the air thermals allow them to "fly" or glide to a safe landing some distance away. I'd be too scared to try either one!
