The hobby of man is to explore nature. Some people go in search of nature under water, some on land and some others in air. The physical fitness and mental strength is very much required for doing adventures on land, under water and in air. The people interested in adventure sports do paragliding and parajumping. The persons engaged in these types of adventure sports should be free from diseases. They should have a basic interest in physical activities. They should also be mentally fit. They should have a cool and positive attitude. They should be ready to accept a challenge and succeed in the goal, setting aside the hurdles. The persons interested in facing dangers and adventures could enter these types of exciting sports. It is a rare opportunity to fly in the air like a bird. Since it is a costly sport event, some people hesitate to take part. If they get full sponsorship, they may ready to come forward to participate. Using a paraglider, persons interested in paragliding, fly in air for sometime and climb altitudes. The paraglider is made up of nylon or polyester fabric. The paraglider is an easy way of transportion as the method of launching and landing is made comfortable. The pilot of paraglider could sit in a comfortable position. The person interested in paragliding should learn to fly a paraglider. A harness attached to the paraglider helps for quick release and saves from injury. The paraglider would be provided with a helmet and a reserve parachute as a safety measure for using in the time of emergency. One person could set along with the paraglider and get the pleasure of flying. Comparatively parajumping is more dangerous. The parajumper should learn to jump with a parabag which dangles 20 to 30 feet below the jumper. The parabag helps for decelerating the speed and smooth landing without any problem. The parajumper should see that the bag hang below the person jumping and not above him. Proper training for landing and rolling would be given for parajumpers. It would be tested to see whether the persons do everything in a fearless manner, applying flight techniques. When they start to jump from the air deck, the parachute should start to open within a few seconds and the parajumper will reach the ground within 2 minutes. When they near the ground paraposition should be attained and they should practice well to roll, for spreading the impact on the whole body. After safe landing, they should pack the parachute and return it to the tower. Sheethal Mahajan of India made her achievements of parajumping in North pole and Southpole. She got the credit of being the first person to jump over North pole and she is the first female person to jump over the South pole. Sheethal and Vaibhav got married in hot air balloon, around 600 feet above ground level, in Pune, a city in India. The priest was also taken to the midair experience where he chanted -vedic mantras- and the bridegroom tied sacred -mangalsutra- in the neck of the bride. The family members watched the ceremonies, from the ground. Sheethal got the prestigious award of -Tenzing Norgay National Adventure Award- and won many other awards. Let us congratulate and encourage the people who participate in adventurous sports like parajumping and paragliding. The common people should give full support.
