- Though the Paragliding is considered to be an adventure and implies certain risk, we can say that it is not dangerous, the dangerous thing is to fly with someone who does not know and who does not have the experience necessary to fly it. In case of the flights, you will fly with an instructor who has many years of experience, with which you will be very safe.
- Not, the paragliding cannot fly without sufficient wind in order that it rises. In case of the Green Coast, it is the wind that comes from the sea that hit with the cliff and rises creating an ascending current that supports the Paradliding flying. In case of the flights in Pachacamac it is the Sun that warms the valley and generates the currents of warm air that rise, supporting the Paradliding in the air.
- Nothing happens since the Paradliding is a device designed to fly, for this reason if the wind goes away, the Paradliding descends softly and the pilot directs it to land in one of the alternate landing zones, which they are very wide and safe.
