A Chinese pilot, Peng Yujiang, was banned from flying for six months after an accidental paragliding incident. While testing equipment in the Qilian Mountains, a gust of wind unexpectedly launched him over 28,000 feet. Despite losing consciousness, he landed safely. The incident, caught on video and subsequently shared online without permission, triggered an investigation by the Gansu Provincial Aviation Sports Association, resulting in bans for both Yujiang and the pilot who posted the video.
