Chinese paraglider reaches record heights of more than 28,000 feet from an accident

A paraglider in China, which intended to test certain devices, had unknowingly unknowingly reached the survival heights last week. 55-year-old paraglider in Gansu province, Peng Yuziang flew about 8,600 meters from the sea level-more than 28,200 feet, or about 5.3 miles, or in the Kyolian mountain range of Kingi and Gansu Provinces, about 5.3 miles, according to the state media. This episode was captured on a camera attached to his equipment and showed what he experienced. The Peng reached almost a level with Mount Everest’s summit and aviation flight paths. His face and body are covered in frost and snow in the video, which was originally posted on social media and was later shared by the Chinese state media. Peng said in a video recorded after the incident, “I felt a lack of oxygen. My hands were frozen out. I kept trying to talk on the radio.” According to local news media, Peng was testing the equipment as part of the “ground handling training” – a step that paragliders say that it is important to manage safe launch – at a height of 3,000 meters above sea level, or about 10,000 feet. But a strong wind suddenly picked him up in the sky. He could not control the glider or land as the draft became strong and was pulled over the clouds. Peng was clearly a victim of a potentially dangerous phenomenon called paragliders “Claude Suck”, in which a pilot is rapidly drawn upwards in a cloud. At excessive altitude, people risk hypoxia, or oxygen deficiency due to thin air. Severe hypoxia may cause organ damage or death. Nevertheless, Peng managed to land on the ground about 20 miles away from where he flew. China Daily said on Thursday that by recovering from stable health and his amazing flight, he said, “I am still very scared to think about it.” The local Sports Authority in Gansu province on Wednesday stated that the Peng, which is a licensed paraglider, will be stopped from the game for six months; It was also noted that flight activities on sites in the area would be suspended for an unward period, stated by local news media. The report stated that the association has considered the pension incident based on an accident, which is based on their statement that they did not have a flight plan and they were undergoing ground handling training, for which participants do not already need to register the plans, the report states. According to the South China Morning Post, another pilot was also banned from flying for six months, as they issued footage of the incident without permission. Peng was not the first paraglider to reach such extreme heights by mistake. In 2007, Eva Visnierska, a champion -champion in the German national team, reached over 10,000 meters or 32,000 feet, accidentally broke the paragliding height record on a practice flight in Australia a few days before the World Paragliding Championship. Her 6-mile climb was a believer, and she came out in the air, eventually in a field, from where she flew, descended more than 50 miles. Another paraglider who was caught in the cloud sucking that day was not alive. “Today, I still fly – but to give courses only for happiness and to give courses to people coming to my paragliding school. I have no meaning to compete now,” Wisnierska told People Magazine last year. “This certainly changed a lot of priorities and made me realize that there are much more important things in life than the championship cup and medal. I often ask myself why I survived and didn’t do this other pilot?”
