Can you tandem paraglide if you are afraid of heights? Absolutely! In this blog post we would like to dispel a prejudice and show that even people with a fear of heights can enjoy paragliding to the fullest. For us the the safety and comfort of our passengers always comes first, and we have found that even people who are afraid of heights can experience the thrill of flying in complete relaxation.
Dive into the world of tandem paragliding with us and find out how we allay fears of heights and offer an unforgettable flying experience.
Our experienced pilots have already accompanied many passengers with a fear of heights safely into the sky. During tandem paragliding, the passenger sits comfortably and safely in a specially developed harness that binds him closely to the pilot. The paraglider holds the pilot and the passenger from above, and so you lose direct connection to the ground during the flight. This feeling of weightlessness and the effortless ascent to heights can even help you overcome your fear of heights and experience a deep sense of relaxation.
In addition, the relaxed and harmonious flight of the paraglider can help the passenger feel safe and gain confidence in the pilot and the technology. This increased confidence can be another important step in overcoming fear of heights.
Unlike skydiving, where you jump out of an airplane and experience free fall with high G forces, when paragliding we start from a suitable starting point on the mountain and take a few steps into the air. The often frightening feeling of free falling does not exist when flying tandem. This makes tandem paragliding an ideal choice for people who are afraid of heights but still want to enjoy the feeling of flying and the breathtaking views.
Our pilots are not only experienced aviators, but also sensitive companions during the flight. We know that every passenger is unique and may have different needs and fears. That's why open communication with the pilot comes first. If you are a passenger who is afraid of heights, you can let your pilot know your concerns in advance. He will make sure that you feel comfortable and safe and will give you the best possible support so that you can enjoy the flight experience to the fullest.
All of our equipment is regularly checked by experts (similar to a car's MOT) and meets the highest safety standards. Before every flight, our pilots carefully check the equipment to make sure everything is working properly. The safety of our passengers is our top priority and we do everything we can to ensure a risk-free and relaxed flying experience.
We are aware that fears and feelings can arise during the flight. If you, as a passenger with a fear of heights, notice that you are feeling unwell or anxious, you can let your pilot know at any time during the flight. If you wish, he can arrange the flight so that you return to the landing site as quickly as possible.
Your well-being and safety are always our top priority and there is absolutely no reason to stay in the air any longer if you feel unwell. Therefore, the landing site is always within sight and can be reached quickly if necessary. This thought could also help you get started :)
Tandem paragliding also offers people with a fear of heights an unforgettable flying experience. The safety and comfort of our passengers are our top priority. Our experienced pilots accompany you through the flight sensitively and responsibly and ensure that you feel safe and comfortable. The feeling of weightlessness and the breathtaking view will captivate you and will certainly even help you overcome your fear of heights.
