Biplace en Parapente is a French term meaning tandem
paragliding. Paragliding is a free flight of the aircraft launched on afoot. A
tandem paraglider is made for two people — the rider and the passenger. For
paragliding tandem flights, the rider is dressed in the harness just in front
of an experienced pilot.
Paragliding in tandems is an unforgettable thrill. Wondering
you don’t have any experience? By the way, you don't need any such experience
before, since one of the accomplished paraglider pilots will help you take your
first flight. He will do all the hard work. You have to run away and then sit
back and relax and admire stunning views after you've been fitted into your
belt. Yeah, don't miss your camera's smile!
In general, paragliding is a very safe game and the
rules and regulations are followed. And if you're in a country where driving
isn't safe, paragliding is probably more reliable. But you should also note
that paragliding is a sport that checks your endurance and sometimes can have
severe consequences should you start feeling overconfident and don’t follow
some basic rules.
Is There Any Weight Limit?
For
paragliding tandems, there is no weight limit as long as the wind is
sufficient. However, tandems operate somewhat differently, so passengers are
usually restricted to 175 lbs or less.
