00:00
A woman...
00:06
...is trapped while paragliding.
00:19
Paragliding relies on the environment.
00:22
And the environment is never predictable.
00:25
Of course, there's wind, and there's the so-called thermal draft.
00:30
This video reached more than 2.2 million views.
00:35
I got wounds on my elbows and knees.
00:38
What's the reason behind the incident?
00:46
What do you call this?
00:48
Airplane.
00:49
Airplane. Paper airplane.
00:50
But did you know that you're going to ride in an airplane without an engine?
00:55
No?
00:56
Are you going to ride in an airplane without an engine?
00:58
No.
00:59
Why not?
01:00
How can you fly without an engine?
01:01
Have you heard of the sport of paragliding?
01:03
No, I haven't.
01:04
You haven't?
01:05
Paragliding comes from two words, parachute and gliding.
01:08
You saw that airplane earlier, gliding.
01:10
You can fly in the air using a parachute.
01:13
Paragliding.
01:15
It's like an airplane that flies without an engine.
01:19
Some people say that paragliding was invented in France.
01:22
But in a book titled Hang Gliding, which was published in 1973,
01:25
it was said that it was invented in the USA.
01:27
And its inventor is David Parrish.
01:30
And did you know that paragliding is wheelchair friendly?
01:33
It means that even if a person is in a wheelchair and has a physical disability,
01:37
they can still experience and enjoy a paragliding flight
01:41
as long as the pilot is licensed.
01:44
You know a lot, brother Kim!
01:47
But if paragliding is that safe,
01:49
why was the woman in the video injured?
01:53
To be honest, she's not just a paraglider, she's a video uploader.
02:00
Kariel, I heard that you're afraid of heights.
02:03
Why did you start paragliding if you're afraid of heights?
02:05
Yes, growing up, I had this fear of heights and then in deep waters.
02:11
And then eventually, I conquered my fears through exploring different experiences.
02:18
What did you feel when you landed?
02:22
At first, I thought it would be normal if the paraglider would take off.
02:27
I wasn't that panicked until I removed my shoes.
02:32
I was accompanied by two pilots.
02:39
So that's when I panicked.
02:41
I didn't plan to fly that time.
02:52
We rented a place in Rizal where Kariel went for paragliding.
02:59
The pilots here are licensed paragliding pilots from all over the world.
03:04
We met Boa, the Indonesian pilot that Kariel was with in the video.
03:10
I did paragliding for about 16 years.
03:13
I didn't notice that when we inflate the glider, the wind becomes stronger.
03:18
I lost control of one of my hands.
03:25
I lost control, but yeah, I still can make it.
03:31
Kariel did fly before,
03:35
but they still had to do an emergency landing or go down right away even though Kariel's flying time wasn't over yet.
03:42
That happens sometimes because the wind is always changing.
03:46
Sometimes we can read the wind, but sometimes we cannot read the wind.
03:52
To do paragliding, the pilot and the passenger need to have a harness.
03:59
When the airbag flies, the wind goes in.
04:02
The pilot's harness bag has a spare parachute.
04:04
We check it before the flight.
04:06
If it's properly locked.
04:08
Sometimes it's an accident if it falls during take-off.
04:11
If it opens, we'll fall.
04:14
The pilot also has a radio so that he can communicate with the ground.
04:18
And when everything is in place, they'll fix the wing or glider they'll be using.
04:25
And they can fly.
04:26
You know a lot, Bro Kim!
04:28
Let's go back to Kariel.
04:30
And he can now fly!
04:49
You know a lot, Kim!
04:52
Let's go back to Kareel.
04:54
Because he's determined to conquer his fear of heights,
05:00
he came back the next day.
05:08
How did it feel when you finally flew?
05:12
It was such a joyous experience.
05:15
It was like a bird's POV.
05:18
It was so peaceful.
05:20
The view was really different.
05:23
In Uyman, in the first trial,
05:26
Kareel's paragliding experience was a happy ending.
05:30
You know a lot, Kim!
