There is a difference between la Cage and the cage. « La Cage »  is composed of two indissociable parts, the wing and a folding aluminium structure (named the cage) where the suspension lines are fastened. Each suspension line is fastened individually, they are spread over the whole cage area. Under this cage, the pilots hangs on one single point (high safety snap-link).
The pilot drives the aluminium structure with two handles which looks like lyre. Due to the single hang point, the pilot can tilt the structure in all directions and then control the wing in both roll and pitch axes. The pitch axe controls the speed; you pull down the lyres to accelerate, you pull up the lyres to reduce the speed. The roll axe controls the turn, you lower the inner hand of the turn.
