Is paragliding more dangerous than parachuting? There are three elements that support the argument that though 【C1】______of them is safe, one is far less dangerous than the other. Those three elements are training, preparation, and skill level.
Training for the first parachute jump is a 【C2】rel______simple process. Commonly a morning of instruction and practice can result 【C3】______a person’s first jump the same afternoon. In contrast, paragliding training is much more involved, taking anywhere from one to three months before the first flight occurs. It is 【C4】______(legal)to fly without a license, and various competence levels must be passed to be able to move from soaring to something more involved such as cross-country flying.
Preparation for a parachute jump is minimal 【C5】______ best. Most jumpers have their chutes packed for them, so all they have to do is climb into the plane. Some pack their own chutes, but still, this is minor. In paragliding the pilot lays out their canopy on the ground, checks it and the lines, and then must wait for the right wind conditions before launching. The fact that the chute and lines can be seen makes a【C6】tre______difference as any problems can be seen before launch, something that is impossible with parachuting. This is a very important difference because almost all parachuting【C7】acc______are the result of equipment failure. Jumpers rely almost totally on their equipment and not their skill, the reverse of the paragliding pilot.
It is this difference in skill levels that makes paragliding the safer option. The 【C8】______ (great)the skill the pilot develops, the less chance they might get into a dangerous situation when flying. Also, if they do get into a dangerous situation, it is far more likely that they will be able to escape. With parachuting it is the【C9】opp______. Ultimately skill does not matter. Even the most experienced jumper will be 【C10】______(able)to do anything in the event of major equipment failure. Like Russian roulette, the question is how many times a person jumps before statistics catch up with them. [br] 【C8】
