Experienced people will tell you that the key is to be distracted before you hit the ground.

Of course, most people’s experience is short lived since they’re not experienced enough of to die trying.

Every time I hear this, I imagine somebody jumping into a belly flop, but instead of falling just yeeting over the horizon at the speed if light.

Define “fly”

I’ve been airborne due to me not jumping or falling, carrying a sheet of plywood and windy days are fun. Airfoil goes WHEEEE.

The scar on my forehead from honestly trying to fly is all of the evidence that I need that I honestly tried to fly.

From random stack exchange nonsense: 750Hz-ish? Idk would be nice to run some actual fluid dynamics on, you'd probably run into issues with that pesky sound barrier...

But in all seriousness a paramotor is relatively cheap ($10-15k ish depending on how much you spend on a training program). I've only flown fixed-wing since I got financial aid for lessons (there are a TON of scholarships out there if you're serious about flying, there's a huge pilot shortage right now).

Just remember, kids! If you don't start from the flat ground it doesn't count as flying! So don't go jumping off the roof or the bridge, because even if you succeed we'll tell everyone you cheated.

I mean I have not researched but I tried pretty hard to jump off the ground and will myself up so I could fly like my dreams and I think that counts.
