A parachute shaped like a glider wing that allows [its user] to take off from a mountain, or from a flat terrain using a winch, and gain altitude by finding rising air currents.  3, record 2, English, - paraglider

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

With a paraglider, you actually fly like a bird, soaring upwards on currents of air. Paraglider pilots routinely stay aloft for 3 hours or more, climb to elevations of 15,000 feet, and go cross-country for vast distances.  4, record 2, English, - paraglider

Le parapente est constitué d'une aile elliptique à caissons en tissu souple, reliée par de nombreuses cordelettes (les suspentes) à un harnais dans lequel le pilote prend place en position assise. Pour contrôler la direction et la vitesse, il peut soit tirer sur les freins, qui changent la forme du bord de fuite de l'aile, soit se pencher de côté dans le harnais. Point de vue pratique, le parapente se range facilement dans un sac à dos et peut donc être transporté aisément sur n'importe quel site de décollage.  2, record 2, French, - parapente
