Para-gliding allows you to fly above the ground with a harness attached by a small sail. The harness allows for you to fly. It will keep you safe when you are falling through the sky.
Flying requires no special equipment. Simply attach your body to the sail. Then, you can take off. The wind pulls the sail against you as you climb in altitude. This allows it to lift you.
You glide along the ground and keep moving forward. Your momentum propels you forward until you reach its end. At that point, you release your grip and fall back to earth.
