You can easily end up in a wheelchair.
I had a lot of close calls with those flying bed sheets and gave up paragliding .... for hang gliding. Almost no close calls, rigid wind is a rigid wing. Wing weight is substantial, when compared to paragliding. Also takes more strength to fly so better for health and muscle gain.

You need to learn how to fly a wing first.

Buy a motorcycle instead. It'll be safer, faster, and more fun.

iv done both, got into paragliding to get good skills for paramotoring, with paramotoring i got annoyed with the amount messing you have with gear, your engine needs servicing all the time, i bought my one new and the throttle stuck on one of my take offs about 4 weeks in, so killed the engine landed and from that day it just seemed endless money pit with seals goin, bolts coming loose... this was new after all a touch of lock tight costs nothing. As for the paragliding thats epic, when you catch your first thermal you will be hooked, flying with birds never gets old and the view with out the ridiculous noise is always sweet

In the video he was flying at full speed trim out, altitude is your friend when flying, if something goes wrong low you won't have time for any input apart from shitting yourself., so looks like his right side had a small tuck, but at full bar the wing wouldn't recover, you can get some really good en-a wings and low en-b wings (they will recover themselves if you just go hands up and power off) but this guy was fill throttle.
