I get dizzy easily Can I fly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Motion sickness is the most typical inconvenience of paragliding. One or two people out of ten may experience this symptom because of the way the paraglider moves through the air. The excitement of the moment and looking around constantly do not help the problem. The best thing to do is to fix your eyes on the horizon and breathe slowly. If you are going to make a paragliding flight and you have a tendency to dizziness, it is not superfluous to take a \"Biodramine\" half an hour before your flight, it is not common for our passengers to get dizzy, but equally, if you get dizzy very easily, you can take a remedy against dizziness. It is sold both in pills and chewing gum and it is advisable to buy the one with caffeine, as it produces some drowsiness, but don't worry... You won't fall asleep while paragliding!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I have vertigo CAN I FLY?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course it is! Vertigo is often confused with fear of heights. With vertigo, what happens is that we lose our balance and, therefore, the feeling of security when we lean out of a high place. As we have no points of reference nearby, this uncomfortable phenomenon appears. But in paragliding, the position we take from the beginning is seated, therefore, we do not need balance and this feeling of insecurity does not appear. All our passengers check it daily and are pleasantly surprised. This is not the case of phobia to heights, if this is your situation, better stay on solid ground...<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After scuba diving, can I paraglide?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What clothes should I wear?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is always advisable to wear comfortable sports clothes, sports shoes and sunglasses are essential. In summer, a windbreaker or a thin coat, such as a polar fleece, will only be necessary. In winter, the ideal is to wear warm clothes, and don't forget your gloves! For mid-season, it is better to overdo it than to underdo it. A coat that keeps out the wind, long pants.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What security measures do we take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost: common sense. We are flying with passengers, the safety margins we adopt are much wider than when we fly alone. We will never fly in weather conditions that we are not able to master with ease. Our equipment is modern, it is systematically changed every 2 years, in this way we always have equipment in perfect condition and with the best performance on the market. They are checked periodically. We are a paragliding workshop, therefore, we have all the tools and knowledge for the perfect maintenance of our equipment. Emergency parachute. All our equipment has a built-in emergency parachute. In case everything goes wrong, there is always a second chance, but don't worry, until today we have never needed it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
