England have climbed up the rankings to fourth place, while Scotland and Wales dropped to eighth and ninth, respectively. France and England are closely following the lead of Ireland and Springboks.

FAQ
How is parasailing different from parachuting?
Para-gliding refers to flying above the ground using an attached harness and small sail. This harness allows you fly. It protects you from falling through the air.
To fly, you don't require any special equipment. All you have to do is attach your self to the sail. Next, take off. The wind pulls the sail against you as you climb in altitude. This makes it lift you.
As you glide along the ground, you keep moving forward. Your momentum carries you forward until you reach the end of the cable. The cable ends and you are free to let go of your grip, and then you fall back to Earth.
Once you are ready to go again, attach the sail to your body.
Parasailing has been growing rapidly. More than 1 million people participated in parasailing in 2013. It's nearly twice as many people did it in 2013 than in 2008.

How To
How do I begin base jumping?
Base jumping, also known as free-fall parachute, is a sport that involves participants leaping from fixed objects (usually cliffs), like bridges, towers or buildings without any equipment. To safely land, the participant jumps from the object. It is similar to skydiving, except that there is no requirement to wear a parachute, nor do you have to hold your breath while waiting to open it.
A wingsuit jumper is the most popular type of base jumper. A wingsuit is composed of two pieces of fabric that are sewn together. One piece covers your chest and arms while the other covers your legs. The boots are specially designed to allow the jumper stand upright during flight. Jumpers tend to pull their feet up tight during descent. This causes the material that covers the legs to gather and form a large volume of air under the jumper. The jumper can open his/her parachute if the air pocket is large enough and land safely.
To propel themselves higher in the air, some base jumpers use powered suits. The main components of powered suits include a backpack that contains batteries and a jacket with a jetpack. These packs contain small rockets that shoot jets of hot gas at high speeds. This creates thrust that propels the leaper forward. These suits can be noisy and heavy.
BASE jumping is not for everyone. You need to be aware of the dangers involved in learning how to BASE jump. You can fall off a height, get hit head-on or upside-down, or collide and injure another jumper. BASE jumping, while not always dangerous is dangerous. However, it can be very dangerous if done improperly. These safety tips will help you avoid injury when BASE jumping.
Begin by learning safe BASE jumping techniques on a smaller hill. It is important to take some time to get used to the terrain before you attempt to jump off of a higher hill. You should also be alert for weather conditions. Make sure the wind doesn't blow in your face when you jump. Also, be careful of foggy skies; if you can see more than 10ft ahead of yourself, you might need to wait until the clouds clear. You should also ensure you have the correct gear. You should have a helmet, goggles and gloves as well as a complete suit including a harness. Fourth, you should have a plan. In case something goes wrong, you should ask another person to come along with you. Never jump by yourself. Always have someone with you.
