Who can do powered paragliding?
Paragliding is about finesse, not strength. As in rock climbing, women often do much better than men because they don t try to muscle the powered paraglider around. The power pack weighs approx. 50 to 100 pounds, so you will need some physical fitness. But more important than physical conditioning, is being physically and mentally alert and prepared. To be a successful powered paragliding student and pilot, you need to be able to think clearly and to listen well.
