Chinese paraglider was erected from an air flow to 8,000 meters in height (video)
A Chinese paraglider, who was accidentally erected more than 8,000 meters in the air from an ascending stream, was banned from flying in six months after the survival footage became popular on the network.
Pun Yudzian has begun his training flight from a height of about 3000 m in the Zilian mountain range in northern China, but has been caught by a strong upward stream, which lifts it more than 5000 m higher.

He intended to test the purchased new second -hand equipment without making a real flight according to an investigative report by the Gansu Aviation Sport Association. However, about 20 minutes after the start of his workout, he was caught by a strong upward stream, which fired him almost at the height of Mount Everest.
The video from the camera mounted on its helmet shows it over the clouds covered with ice pendants as the temperature drops to -35 ° C. The report says he tried to descend, but his efforts were « ineffective » and, while flying higher, he went wrong and lost consciousness briefly.

The stump eventually managed to land about 30 km from the point of takeoff. The flight is close to the world record of 9946 m set by German paragllerist Eva Vishnerska in 2007, when it was caught by a similar ascending course on a paraglider flight in Australia. Vishnerska has been unconscious for about 40 minutes, learning how high she only flew after she has safely landed and checked her flight data.
