We are always fascinated in the feeling of flying in the air. That is why different tools are being made to create the same effect. Airplanes for instance are produced not just to get the feeling of flying; but also to travel great distances in the least amount of time spent. Without it, people cannot travel the said distances without using too much energy and time. There are also some sports or games that were created to render that kind of euphoria. One of which is skydiving or parachuting. It is very exhilarating experiencing the sky in your surroundings and getting the feeling of free falling with just gravity pulling you down. One activity like parachuting is paragliding, wherein one sits on a harness with fabric wing connected to it. Diverse fields that are related also with it are BASE jumping and sky surfing. BASE jumping is fundamentally skipping on a situated object like a building, cliff or a bridge. Sky surfing on the other hand is like skydiving with a board strap on the legs, much like snowboarding and executing aerobatics on freefall. There are also some recreational activities that one can do over the water; and one is parasailing. A boat will tow a person with parachute and then release the parachute while still on the boat. The person in the parachute will then be braced in the tow while soaring through the air. Land based parasailing is also being practiced in other tourist spots in the world, where wheeled vehicles are used instead of a boat.
