After being swept almost 29, 000 foot into the clouds by a strong airflow over the Qilian Mountains in Gansu Province, a Taiwanese paraglider had a wonderful leave. When the weather immediately picked up and lifted Peng Yujiang, an expert B-level paraglider, high into the top atmosphere without any air tools, he was testing a second-hand saddle on Saturday. I recently purchased a second-hand skydiving harness and wanted to test it, so I was shaking the earth parachute,” Peng told China Central Television (CCTV ). The wind picked up and suddenly lifted me into the atmosphere after a while. At an altitude of 8, 598 meters ( 28, 208 feet ), I tried to land as soon as possible, but I was unsuccessful. He described being entirely lost and encircled by deep plume sky. Everything was light all around me, which made it frightening. Without the map, I haven’t have known which way to go. I believed I was flying directly, but in truth I was spinning,” he said. Despite almost losing consciousness and feeling cold, Peng used his compass to find his way out and maintained radio contact with friends. He recalled that when I emerged from the sky, I was really excited that I had survived. The scariest time occurred when I attempted to exit the loop and failed, and when the ceiling nosedived. It’s also frightful to consider, according to Peng, who has been paragliding for more than four times. I’m not sure what will happen in the future, but for the moment I’m certain to never travel again,” he continued.
