A method for adjusting a trailing edge of a loadbearing paraglider for carrying out an interception maneuver, using at least one carried load unit connected via a first, short load carrier belt and a second, longer load carrier belt to a carrier system of the loadbearing paraglider, and wherein at least one interception line of the loadbearing paraglider is fixed to the at least one carried load unit and the trailing edge, the method comprising:
- separating the first, short load carrier belt so as to no longer connect the at least one carried load unit to the carrier system;
- adjusting the trailing edge to carry out the maneuver using the gravitational force of the carried load;
- and
- carrying the carried load unit by way of the longer, second load carrier belt and the interception line.
