Reading
D
(Modules 7-8)
You are going to read a text about an extreme sport. For questions 1-4,
mark the answer that fits best from options A, B, C or D.
So many extreme sports have become popular
in recent decades that it seems that danger
and adrenaline are addictive, and people are
constantly looking for new and more exciting
ways to experience them. One of the latest
extreme sports to become established is a
combination of two sports which lots of people
consider to be risky in themselves – skiing and
paragliding. Speed riding involves descending
a mountain on skis at high speed while
attached to a parachute-like wing. Using this,
the rider can fly over any steep, rocky or
otherwise difficult terrain. There are no rules
as to when you use your skis and when you
pull the cords on your harness and take to the
sky, and neither are there any official speed
riding routes. In fact, speed riders are
generally not allowed to pursue their hobby
alongside skiers on the pistes at ski resorts.
They need to make their way instead to the
highest, wildest places that nature can offer.
Even so, the sport has spread from its
birthplace in the French Alps as far as Japan,
New Zealand and Argentina, with thousands of
people taking part in it and dozens of
organisations around the world offering
instruction in it.
The sport is well-named, as speed riders can
reach speeds of 100km per hour on their way
down the mountains. But don’t think they go so
fast purely for thrills; strange as it may seem,
on the most demanding mountains it’s vital to
maintain a high speed for safety reasons.
That’s because if speed riders slow down too
much, their wings fall down and become
useless – leaving them with nothing but their
skis for getting past whatever obstacles lie
ahead, from cliffs to avalanches.
Obviously, experience of both paragliding and
skiing is an advantage if you want to take up
this growing sport. You can try speed riding if
you’ve never paraglided, but you’re unlikely to
find someone willing to teach you speed riding
if you’re not a competent skier. You need to
have enough skill to land smoothly and safely
after being airborne.
Unfortunately around 30 speed riders – all of
them highly experienced – have lost their lives
doing the sport since it became popular in the
early 2000s. Several of the fatal accidents
were due to sudden poor site conditions –
such as fierce winds – or equipment failure,
but most of the riders simply lost control of
their descent.
