Flying with a Dragon

As a human flying with a dragon you lend your power and coordination. Of course you are also supposed to shield in such a way so you do not fall off. This is particularly important since dragons do not always fly with their head toward the sky and their feet aimed at the ground. The sky is more fluid than the ground. And while the dragon is using his or her wings and steering with their tail, the human hitchhiker is in real danger of falling off if they are not careful. It puts in perspective the courage the humans show in climbing on a dragon.
