Letter-writer Bill Raffin thinks so:I've seen hang-gliders descending dangerously low across the highway with only a short stretch of beach for landing on when the tide is high. I am not against hang-gliders and I love recreational activity ugg winkel bredabotas ugg oferta botas ugg oferta, but I do believe the risk of loss of human life and the potential for collision on or near the busy Pacific Coast Highway are too great to allow this sport to take place in the immediate area.His letter generated much debate on the Times' site. Others posted comments defending the sport. One poster said: " I support the paragliders they are beautiful to watch. Those so called out of towners bring revenue to the area although I bet most are locals. They are not a danger to you Mr Malibu or your children in your 4000 [pound] car or SUV."
