点评:⚠️ A True Paragliding Horror Story from Georgia – Please Read Before You Fly
Last October, I had what I thought would be a thrilling adventure—paragliding over the beautiful valleys of Georgia. What followed was one of the most horrifying experiences of my life, and I urge everyone: please do not risk your life by paragliding in Georgia.
Here’s why:
• It is completely unregulated – There is no proper oversight, no safety standards, and no accountability.
• You are not covered by travel insurance – Paragliding in Georgia is classified as a high-risk, unregulated activity. If something goes wrong, you’re on your own.
• Pilots are untrained and uncertified – The person I flew with had no official license or government certification. He looked confident but clearly had no control.
• Zero safety infrastructure – No medical facility nearby, no emergency support. It’s just you, the wind, and hope.
During my flight, the pilot lost balance mid-air, and we free-fell from nearly 3000 ft. Miraculously, he walked away unharmed—but I wasn’t so lucky. I suffered multiple fractures in my neck, hand, and leg, and spent eight months bedridden, fighting both pain and trauma. There was no legal recourse, no compensation, and no one to hold accountable.
I’m sharing this not to scare, but to warn. Just 15 minutes of thrill can cost you your life or leave you permanently disabled. A quick search on Google will show you—fatal accidents happen every year, and yet the government has done nothing to stop it. It was banned a few years ago but quietly restarted.
Please, don’t take the risk.
No selfie, no adrenaline rush, no scenic video is worth your life.
— A survivor, still healing, still warning.
翻译:⚠️ 佐治亚州滑翔伞真实恐怖故事——飞行前请阅读
去年十月,我经历了一场本以为会惊险刺激的冒险——在佐治亚州美丽的山谷上空滑翔。然而,接下来的体验却是我人生中最惊险的经历之一。我在此呼吁所有人:千万不要在佐治亚州冒险滑翔。
原因如下:
• 滑翔伞运动完全不受监管——没有适当的监管,没有安全标准,也没有问责机制。
• 您没有旅行保险——在佐治亚州滑翔伞运动被列为高风险、不受监管的活动。如果出现问题,您只能自己承担。
• 飞行员未经训练且未获得认证——与我一起飞行的飞行员没有官方执照或政府认证。他看起来很自信,但显然无法掌控局面。
• 零安全基础设施——附近没有医疗设施,也没有紧急救援。只有您自己、风和希望。
在我的飞行途中,飞行员在空中失去平衡,我们从近3000英尺的高空自由落体。奇迹般地,他毫发无损——但我就没那么幸运了。我的颈部、手部和腿部多处骨折,卧床八个月,与疼痛和创伤作斗争。没有法律途径,没有赔偿,也没有人追究责任。
我分享这件事不是为了吓唬人,而是为了警告。仅仅15分钟的刺激就可能让你丧命,甚至终身残疾。用谷歌快速搜索一下就能发现——每年都会发生致命事故,但政府却没有采取任何措施来阻止它。几年前它被禁止了,但又悄悄地恢复了。
请不要冒险。
任何自拍、任何刺激的刺激、任何风景视频都不能让你付出生命的代价。
——一位幸存者,仍在康复,仍在发出警告。
