A paraglider is made up of the wing, rigging (lines), small carabiner, and risers. ... Lines. Commonly known as lines (a set of rigging) measuring variously between 0.4 - 1.7 mm, even 2.2 mm, their high level of strength or weight resistance depends on their thickness and the properties of material used in its construction. They are usually concerned with a protective sheath to guard against ground friction and are made from dyneema, kevlar, spectra, superaramid and so on. The lines attach the wing to risers which in turn are attached to the pilots harness, and extend from the wings downward side in the order specified by the particular manufacturer, gradually tapering off in thickness and number via a series of quick links. Finally they end up in tiny linkages (known as small carabiner) from the risers. 6, record 1, English, - suspension%20line
