What is a "paraglider"?
A paraglider is a type of aircraft that allows a person to glide through the air while sitting in a harness attached to a large, soft fabric wing. The wing is similar to a parachute but is designed to be controlled by the pilot, who can steer it by adjusting the lines attached to the wing. Paragliding is often done from a hill or mountain, where the pilot launches into the air, using wind currents to stay afloat and navigate.
Examples
The paraglider was packed carefully into the van after the flight.
They stored the paraglider in the garage when it was n't in use.
