Das ist ja Wahnsinn, es grenzt wohl an ein Wunder, das sie das überlebt hat!
Mein Beileid für den Chinesen!

lest euch mal diesen bericht durch und vergleicht ihn dann mit der dhv-berichterstattung...

Ja was soll das denn? Nach Spiegel und Flygirl ist Ewa gerade so davongekommen. Kann mir nicht viorstellen, dass sie da noch Scherze drüber macht.

Man muß ja solche Unfallmeldungen nicht gleich über die DPA jagen, aber so eine Verharmlosung macht sich echt scheiße.

Hier etwas detailiertere Bericht und auf Bild.de ist sogar ein Film mit Ihr zu sehen.

NUR auf DHV sieht man noch nichts !!
Haben die es verpennt ?


Sydney - A German paraglider training for next week's world championships in Australia survived minus-50-degree temperatures and being battered by hailstones the size of tennis balls when she was sucked up to an altitude at which passenger jets fly.

Ewa Wisnierska, 35, told Friday of being unconscious for most of a 90-minute ride inside a storm system that killed a fellow paraglider.

'The chances of surviving what she has done is the equivalent of winning Lotto a few times in a row, not just once,' said Godfrey Weness, the organizer of the 2007 Paragliding World Championships in the northern New South Wales town of Manilla.

'She was covered in ice, she suffered from severe frostbite, the temperature at that altitude was minus 50 degrees - its higher than Mount Everest,' Weness added.

Weness, Australia's best paraglider, noted that in Italy several years ago, seven paragliders were caught up in a similar thunderstorm and all perished.

He was full of praise for Wisnierska, noting that staying calm probably saved her life. Despite the bitter cold, she even managed a perfect landing just 500 metres from a farmhouse.

Wisnierska, a professional paragliding instructor and a member of the German national team, said Wednesday's experience was both frightening and amazing.

'You can't imagine the power,' she told national broadcaster ABC. 'You feel like nothing, like a leaf from a tree going up.'

The track log on her paraglider showed that at one point she was travelling at 20 metres per second. On her descent, she was covering 33 metres per second.

Wisnierska passed out at 9,947 metres because of a lack of oxygen. Her clothes were frozen to her body, and her glider was caked in ice.

'I knew that the chances to survive are almost zero,' she said, 'so I knew I could only have luck.'

He Zhongpin, 42, was not so lucky. The body of the Chinese national team member was found 75 kilometres from where Wisnierska managed to bring her craft down. A post mortem will most likely show he froze to death in the storm cell that Wisnierka survived.

Wisnierska, who still expects to compete next week, said she had applied all her knowledge to improve her chances. 'I never stopped to hope,' she said. 'In each situation I was trying to do the best and hoping it would be better.'

Doctors said passing out helped. 'It was because I got unconscious, because the heart slows down all the functions. It saved my life.'

When she regained consciousness, she scratched the ice off her global positioning system screen and found she was at 9,470 metres. 'When I woke up I tried to fly,' she said. 'I don't even have the brakes in my hand. My clothes were frozen. The harness had ice peaks (icicles).'

After bringing the craft down, she curled up in the foetal position to restore her body heat. She then heard her mobile phone ringing and gave her coordinates to overjoyed German teammates, who had thought her lost.

Doch, bei DHV steht:
"... Bei dem Versuch einen sicheren Landeplatz zu finden wird es für Ewa und einen weiteren Piloten eng. Während der zweite Pilot noch abspiralen und sicher landen kann wird Ewa von der Wolke geschluckt.

Nach knapp zwei Stunden erreichen wir sie endlich am Handy und kurz darauf meldet sie ihre Landeplatz Koordinaten via SMS. 25 Minuten später treffen wir bei Ewa ein, die mit ihrem Schirm sicher landen konnte, zwar unterkühlt aber sonst ok ist. Wir sind alle froh, dass Ewa schon wieder über ihren unfreiwilligen "Höhenrekord" scherzen kann. "

Irgendwie hab ich den Eindruck, die (DHV) wollen das runterspielen.

Na super!
Das grenzt ja schon an Informationsunterschlagung.

Ewa soll mal den Track ins Netz stellen !

Um kurz nach 16.00 gibt es
ein Interview mit Ihr auf FFH.
