A Chinese paraglider was accidentally pushed 8,000 meters high in the upstream, and the activity was banned six months after the video spread of his misery.

According to an investigation report by the Gansu Provincial Aviation Sports Association, Peng Yujiang started at an altitude of about 3,000m in the Qilian Mountains in northern China, where he intends to test new used equipment purchases without proper flight.

However, during the period of about 20 minutes of practice, he was caught with a strong upward flow, which brought him 5,000m high, which coincided with the flight path and the height of almost Mount Everest.

Peng's video of the camera mounted on him showed him over the clouds and covering the icicles as he tried to control his device, the temperature dropped to the reported -35C.

In a video shot shortly after landing, Peng tells the story.

"My hands are frozen outside. I've been trying to speak on the radio," he said.

Authorities praised Peng's survival and admitted that it was an accident. The sixth tone says: "Average people cannot be exposed to 8,000m without oxygen (so) it is not something that can be done voluntarily."

However, Peng has about five years of paragliding experience and never intends to leave the ground, so he has not registered any flight plans, which means his suffering is "not subject to relevant approvals." In response, he was banned from flying for six months.

According to an interview by Peng, the bureau said he aired in the air for more than an hour and was in contact with his friend Gu Zhimin, who was still on the ground.

The report said he had tried to descend, but his efforts were "ineffective" and as he flew higher, he became confused and briefly lost consciousness.

Peng was eventually able to get around 30 kilometers from the launch site, where he met another friend.

Later, Gu released a video of Peng's flight and commented on Douyin, a Chinese version of Tiktok, which soon spread.

The video drew shock and admiration from viewers, some of which suggested he broke the record, but also caused anger from the authorities.

"Unper permission, Gu Zhimin released a flight video, which had adverse effects," the report said. "He was rooted for six months and asked to write a report to deeply reflect on the negative effects of his behavior."

The bureau said any records broken by Peng's flight would not be officially calculated because his flight was not registered.

His flight approached a record of 99.46 million set by German paraglider Ewa Wiśnierska, when she was caught in a similar uplift while paragliding in Australia in 2007. Wiśnierska was in a coma for about 40 minutes and only learned how high she flew after landing safely and checking flight data.
