Some background about paragliding hobby:

I started to paraglide in Macedonia in 1994. The accident happened when I had been paragliding for four years. I was descending and the paraglide collapsed at such a low altitude that I could not open it in time. I hit the ground and broke one of the vertebrae in my thorax. I continued flying the following year with a chair designed by Ari Rahikainen. It was working well, but my demands for the chair grew so high that I started developing it so that it would be suitable and easy to travel with, put together and that I could use it independently. I fly annually about 50 hours. Summer 2007 I designed and built a chair that enables a normal positioning of the reserve into the harness and is both light and easy to carry. Now it is almost a perfect device for someone who cannot start with her or his own feet. Just connect the harness with the chair and into the sky you fly!
