Tandem Paragliding Launch

This photo sequence shows a tandem paragliding launch at the Cliffside flying site near Goldendale, Washington, in the Columbia River Gorge.*

Notice in the second photograph how we are obviously pulling hard against the pull of the glider as we bring it up. The passenger provides an excellent example of leaning forward and bending the knees.
