    Paragliding is a recreational sport that involves flying through the air using a fabric wing attached to a harness. The sport originated in the 1960s when inventors began experimenting with rectangular parachutes and modifying sail wings. It gained popularity in the 1980s as equipment modernized. Today, paragliding is governed by rules established by the Federation of Aeronautic International to ensure safety, such as not flying in commercial airspaces or developing areas where collisions could occur. Pilots must properly lay out their parachute before takeoff and make turns into the wind.
