Most people have had a dream as a child that if you ran fast enough, you would take off. Here, the dream has come true because when you run across the field strapped into a paraglider, you finally take off. Then the ground just as quietly disappears beneath you until you see the world from a bird's eye view. How far you reach above the ground is entirely up to how teachable you are. Normally, you will take off 2-3 meters above the ground the first time you try paragliding.
