Parachutists jump from planes and gliders. They flew down to the ground at high speed. They then opened the parachutes.
Parachute jumping was dangerous. Many parachutists died during these events. However, paragliding became more popular after the war.
1948 saw the first paraglider flight near Lake Garda in Italy. Paragliding has grown in popularity since then. Paragliding is a popular sport that thousands take part in each year.
Para-gliding is different from parachuting in a crucial way. Para-gliders don't land on the ground. Instead, they land on water.

How To
How do I begin base jumping?
Base jumping (also called free-fall Parachuting) allows participants to jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), including bridges, towers and buildings, with no equipment attached. To safely land, the participant jumps from the object. It is similar to skydiving, except that there is no requirement to wear a parachute, nor do you have to hold your breath while waiting to open it.
A wingsuit is the most common type base jumper. A wingsuit is two pieces of fabric joined together. The chest, arms and legs are covered by one piece and the legs by the other. Special boots allow the jumper to stand straight during flight. The jumper pulls the ankle straps tighter during descent. This causes the fabric covering his/her legs to bunch up under his/her body, creating an air pocket. Once the air pocket has grown large enough, the jumper will open his/her parachut and land safely.
To propel themselves higher in the air, some base jumpers use powered suits. Two main components of powered suits are a backpack with batteries and a pack that can be worn underneath the jumper's clothing. These small rockets fire small jets of hot-gas at high speeds. This creates thrust that propels the leaper forward. However, these suits tend to be loud and heavy.
BASE jumping is not for everyone. You need to be aware of the dangers involved in learning how to BASE jump. There are several ways to die while doing BASE jumping: you could fall off a steep cliff, hit an obstacle head-on, upside down or collide with another jumper. Although BASE jumping isn't always dangerous, it can prove very dangerous if done incorrectly. These safety tips will help you avoid injury when BASE jumping.
Practice safe BASE jumping techniques starting on a small hill. Before jumping from a bigger hill, you should take a few moments to become familiar with the terrain. Also, be aware of weather conditions. Try to jump when the wind isn't blowing in your face. Also, be careful of foggy skies; if you can see more than 10ft ahead of yourself, you might need to wait until the clouds clear. Make sure you have all the necessary gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, be sure to have a plan. If something goes wrong, ask someone to help you. Don't jump alone. Always have someone watching over you.
