I reported to the "captain" that I was not sitting well in the harness on take-off but without making an adjustment. I should have refused to climb in these conditions because up there, because of the gusts of wind (over the relative wind) the parachute was pitching strongly. When you sit on the edge of the harness you hang on strongly especially when rocking forward! This is to say that, of one, I did not take a picture up there and of two, I did not take pleasure at all.
Besides, I do paragliding from time to time in winter in the mountains, at much higher heights, so it is not the apprehension that makes me give this negative opinion. Above all, if you feel unwell during takeoff, refuse to leave. Otherwise, hang on!
