Paraglider survived 28,000 feet in the air without oxygen

One of the parties to the Parglader in China survived an unexpected climb to 28,208 feet in the air without oxygen after he was arrested in a strong lifting operation, according to a Chinese Central TV TV Agency (CCTV).

Ping Yogiang, an experienced Paraguileer, said he was conducting a routine test of equipment less than 10,000 feet above the sea in the northwestern Chinese province of Gansu.

“After a while, the wind suddenly picked up and raised me in the air. I tried to land as soon as possible, but I failed.”

The 55 -year -old had found himself besieged within the Cumulonimbus cloud system, in a phenomenon described as a “absorbing cloud”, with the strong Updraft currents Paraguraders to highly high altitudes.

“It was terrifying – everything around me was white. I thought I was flying straight, but in reality, I was going on,” Ping told CCTV.

It rose to a height of 28,208 feet, which is nearly from the height of Mount Everest, the highest mountain above sea level in the world.

Footage of the 360 ​​-degree camera appears on the flight that flies through thick clouds as the ice is formed around its face and open equipment. Although Peng looks calm in the video, he admitted in an interview with CCTV that the episode was very frightening.

“It is still scary to think. I am not sure of the future, but I will definitely not fly for a while,” he said.

It was delivered for a six -month comment, as the aerial and air field site was not approved.
