Eva: 我在澳大利亚参加滑翔伞世界锦标赛时,遭遇了一场突如其来的风暴,被卷入高达10000米的高空。当时,我感觉状态极佳,自信能应对任何天气。然而,随着云层越来越厚,我开始意识到危险,但仍然抱着侥幸心理,认为可以绕过风暴云团。不幸的是,我突然遭遇强烈的上升气流,被迅速吸入云中。在云中,我经历了冰雹、闪电和极度寒冷,滑翔伞也开始失控。我尝试各种方法下降,但都无济于事。我开始感到绝望,想到了我的父母,并开始祈祷。在7000米的高度,我失去了意识,身体像一个破布娃娃一样在风暴中飘荡。幸运的是,我的滑翔伞奇迹般地重新打开,我逐渐恢复了意识。虽然我全身冻僵,但我仍然努力控制滑翔伞,最终成功降落。这次经历让我深刻认识到生命的脆弱,也让我学会了在面对危险时要更加谨慎和珍惜生命。

Shownotes Transcript

This week, we delve into the Real Survival Stories archive. In case you missed them the first time around, there are over 70 stories in the back catalogue available to listen to now. We’ll be back as normal, every week, after a short festive break.

A picturesque paragliding flight becomes a terrifying nightmare when a massive storm rolls in. Sucked into the clouds, Ewa Wiśnierska is pelted by hailstones the size of oranges. With lightning crackling all around her, she is sent hurtling upwards - still clinging to her parachute. Soon, she’ll be higher than Everest and nearing the cruising altitude of a jumbo jet. Covered in ice, approaching the edge of the breathable atmosphere… how on earth does she make it down in one piece?

A Noiser production, written by Sarah Ward.
