Paraglider escapes a highly 8000 meter cross journey

Chinese Paraguileer survived that 8,500 meters (27,800 feet) in the sky over northwestern China had a government media report.

Peng Yujiang, 55, was testing new equipment at a height of 3000 meters above sea level, above the Qilian Mountains, when it was pulled by a rare squash or air stream known as “Cloud Suck” up to about 5,000 meters top to the formation of a cloud.

On Saturday, events were filmed on a camera that was installed on Mr. Ping, and the shots became viral after its publication on Douyin, the China version of Tiktok.

And it was showed that Mr. Ping holds the controls of a sailing plane, with his face and a lot of his body is covered with ice crystals.

“It was terrifying … everything was white. I couldn’t see any direction. Without the compass, I didn’t know how I was going. I thought I was flying straight, but in reality, I was going.”

Mr. Beng survived by a slight difference of death as the levels of oxygen are thin at this height, which is just less than the peak of 8,849 meters from Everest Mountain. Temperatures can also decrease to -40 ° C.

“I wanted to go down quickly, but I couldn’t. I raised above and up until I was inside the cloud,” he said.

Mr. Beng, who was roaming for four and a half years, said that he may have lost consciousness during his descent, adding that the most fearful part of his ordeal was trying to regain control of sailing aircraft as it was in the air.

The Chinese authorities are investigating the accident and Mr. Ping was suspended for six months because the trip was not reached.

Global Times said that Mr. Beng had no intention to fly on that day and was only testing the fitness and comfort of the umbrella on the ground.

However, the strong winds were raised from the ground and grew stronger, until Updraft was shot in the clouds.
