Chinese paraglider survives accidental 8,000-metre-high flight above the clouds

Thu 29 May 2025 05.51 BST

A Chinese paraglider who was accidentally propelled more than 8,000 metres high by an updraft has been banned from the activity for six months after a video of his ordeal went viral.

Video from Peng’s mounted camera showed him above the clouds and covered in icicles as the temperature dropped to a reported -35C, as he tried to control his equipment.

In a video filmed shortly after landing, Peng recounted the experience.

“My hands were frozen outside. I kept trying to talk on the radio,” he said.

Anyway the guy who went psychotic because of ChatGPT is back.



I did some digging and found that he had been saying weird shit as early as April, though this still fell into the bounds of "normal behavior."



As early as June he was yapping about "systems."
