Know Your Paraglider

A paraglider’s canopy is made of a lightweight cloth of woven polyester or nylon. It consists of a series of parallel cells that are only open at one end called the leading edge. The canopy is supported by a large number of high strength, small diameter lines made of Spectra or Kevlar. These lines are called risers. Internal V-shaped ribbing is used to distribute the loads and reduce the number of line attach points.

Certain lines have different names to help instruction. The lines attached to the leading edge or where the cells are open are called the “A” Risers or lines. The lines that attach further back along the chord line (the line between each cell) are called the “B” and “C” Risers or lines. The lines that attached to the very end of the canopy or the trailing edge are the most important and they are called the brake lines.

All these lines flow into a single webbed line for each side that is attached to the harness.
