Peng Yujiang, 55, says he was sucked into an updraft accidentally about 20 minutes after taking off. He flew only slightly lower than the peak of Mount Everest, which stands at just over 29,000 feet. Peng is now under investigation by Chinese authorities and has been suspended from flying for six months because his flight was unauthorized. #paragliding #Chineseparaglider #China
