Why would anyone want to fly a paraglider when they could fly a hang glider?
A. A paraglider folds down into a package the size of a largish knapsack and can be carried easily. Conversely, a hang glider needs a vehicle with a roof-rack for transportation to and from the flying site, as well as appreciable time to set-up and strip-down. It’s also somewhat easier to learn to fly, as a paraglider flys at much slower speeds.
