Is paragliding for everyone?

How does tandem paragliding work?
Paragliding originated as an evolution of the parachute, with the basic idea of allowing takeoff from the ground rather than freefall. The wing used for tandem flights is larger than the one used for solo flights, allowing the pilot and passenger to fly together, using thermal currents that create lift.
Unlike airplanes, paragliders do not have an engine – they move through the flow of air. The pilot controls the wing using lightweight lines, while passengers are securely connected to the pilot and seated in a harness. Paragliding is unique because it allows you to glide in peace and silence, enjoying incredible panoramic views.
