Rigid paragliders



Terrible day today. Howling wind. What's that? Keep taking the tablets? Cheeky! No, the wind it was turning my umbrella inside out. It's in the bin at the bus stop now. Surely there's a better design? Speaking of which, I got this email today:


Dear Doreen,
Why don’t they make a paraglider with aluminium tubes in it? I for one would be the first in the queue to buy one.
Yours perplexed, Dobie Vinyleffect

Dear Dobie
This has been tried but all the test pilots ended up concussed or badly dead after the wing fell on them upon landing.
I hope this helps, Doreen.
