slam, brake violently
Declined
To slam something, like slam a door. To break violently. I am not sure how this would fit in your context though
Comment: "Slamming is a good option, but in a glossary www.eyesonsky.com I found the term collpase. Anyway, thanks a lot. "

I think the name of the sport would be paragliding in English. Had a friend that did it in Spain.
Haven't found any equivalents but a search online took me to the glossary below that you may find useful, where they allude to this term and from the meaning of the word "cerrojazo" in Spanish, I assume it would be a sharp ending to the take off and maybe this could be what you are looking for; an alternative would be to look for a yahoo group and post a question in their forum. Hope it helped.

Comment: "Thanks for helping Mapi. Have found in another glossary: www.eyesonsky.com, the term "collapse" and the corresponding italian word for it "chiusura". Have also found collapse in some articles on paragliding. Anyway I´ve added crestlinesoaring glossary to my list. "
