I went hang gliding on Friday. I would have posted earlier but I was waiting for pictures. Turns out no one got a good picture of me, though. Oh well.

In any case, I never got more than a few feet off the ground, being a first lesson, but I liked it a lot better than skydiving. It seems actually very relaxing. Once you're in the air, you don't really have to do any work at all; you can just enjoy the view. Landing is actually pretty easy since the glider doesn't move very fast. It actually seems very hard to injure yourself since the glider will naturally tend to glide mostly horizontally and slowly. If you totally let go of the handle, you'd just glide to the ground and have a slightly rough landing. The only big worry is colliding with objects.

I'm trying to decide if I want to do more of it.

UPDATE: Me, hang gliding! FYI, the instructor told us to keep running while in the air, since beginners tend not to know when they're about to hit the ground. I'm not just doing it to look like an idiot. :)
