Tandem paragliding is not just an extreme sport – it’s a powerful personal journey. From nervous anticipation to pure joy mid-flight, every second is unforgettable. But before you take to the skies, there’s one important detail to check: the weight limit for tandem passengers.
⚖️ Weight Limits – Not a Barrier, But a Safety Standard
At Đường Mây – a trusted paragliding provider in Da Nang and northern Vietnam – all flights are conducted under strict safety standards, including passenger weight:
Men: Up to 100kg (220lbs)
Most men at this weight have a muscular build, which still fits standard harness sizes safely and comfortably.Women: Up to 85kg (187lbs)
For women over this weight, body size may exceed the standard harness dimensions, which can affect comfort and secure fit during flight.
👉 These limits are not to exclude anyone – they exist purely for your safety and optimal flying experience.
🌤️ Heavier Flyers? Timing and Wind Conditions Matter
If you’re close to or slightly above these weight limits, you might still be able to fly, depending on wind conditions. For heavier passengers, we recommend:
Flying only during optimal wind windows (stable, moderate winds)
Choosing late afternoon or early morning for best conditions
Getting a custom setup and larger canopy if needed
📌 That’s why it’s essential to contact Đường Mây in advance – we’ll assess conditions and arrange your flight for safety and comfort.
