Something to remember if you are foolish enough to get sucked into a CB

and
lose your pretty white wings as a result. If you bail out successfully,

it
might be a good idea to wait a while before pulling the rip cord lest

you
continue to go up.


Do paragliders (is that what you call the participants?) typically have
an emergency chute?

Yes. It's practically the alternate means of landing with some of the less
risk-averse pilots.
