er conditions before taking off . His or her capabilities must be ade-
quate for the paraglider used . The paraglider pilot is also required bear
a sense of responsibility towards the natural world, especially regard-
ing the preservation of wildlife and landscape .
Wearing an adequate helmet, suitable boots and clothing, and the car-
