You know times are changing and the world of sports is evolving when a person in a wheelchair can tandem paraglide. We last saw Amun Røstøen Løvland Vennesla over a year ago when he first flew his paragliding wheelchair. Now, he has done more work on the apparatus and it is successfully flying in the skies of Norway. This remarkable device not only gives the disabled a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity but puts a huge smile on their face.
