There are certain safety measures you must take when indulging in this adventure sport. Thrilling as it may seem it could turn dangerous with petty mistakes! Make sure you carefully follow instructions given by your instructors specially during takeoff and landing. It is always beneficial to do a weather check before flying as you wouldn’t want raging winds to disturb you at that high altitude. Lastly, wear suitable clothing and carry appropriate necessary gear. Happy gliding !
