I’ve been in a helicopter twice...both very short flights. I nearly soiled myself both times. There’s no way in hell I’d ever “paraglide”.
I used to demonstrate SWAT and rescue gear to police agencies and military units as part of a job I held for a couple of years. When a chopper was available we'd rappel from it to the top of a training tower or building used for that purpose, then set a slide-for-life rescue up and "rescue" the department volunteers. That's back when I was young and stupid. Scared? You'd better believe it! But the way to beat fear is to prepare for and do what you fear.
