About harness of parachute.

Harness pay very important roll. The pilot is loosely and comfortable buckled into a harness which offers support in both the standing and sitting position. Many harness even have an adjustable lumbar support. The primary porpose of parachutes is for descending as when jumping out of an aircraft. In contrast, the primary purpose of paragliders is for ascending. Paragliding are categorized as ascending parachute by canopy manufacture worldwide and are designed for free flying, meaning flight without a tether. However in areas without high launch points, para gliders may be towed aloft by a ground vehicle or a stationary winch, after which they are released, creating much the same effect as a mountain launch. Such tethered launches can give a paraglider pilot a higher starting point than many mountains do, offering similar opportunities t catch thermals and to remain airborne by thermal and other forms of lift. As with other forms of free flight, paragliding requires the significant skill and training required for air croft control, including aero nautical theory, meteorological knowledge and forecasting, personal/emotional safety considerations.
