  Some netizens analyzed: "The sport of unpowered winged flight is very rare in China. The pilot can only use his body to control the flight attitude and altitude. The speed is very fast. This requires the guts, skills, climate conditions and courage of the pilot. Very high. She may have encountered a sudden airflow in the mountains, which caused the control to run out of control ... As a woman, she is more of a brave and delicate person in winged flight, and her misfortune is heartbreaking. Looking forward to identifying the cause of the accident, Sum up! "

  Some netizens are under security considerations and urge everyone not to play extreme sports, but some netizens expressed different views on this: "Everyone has different ideals. Some life is to create, some life is a step-by-step life, and some life is Create a precedent, and some life is a way to open the future ... Nor can it be said that others should not do it.

  In fact, controversy about extreme sports has always existed. At the end of 2017, Wu Yongning, known as "China's first high-altitude challenger," fell into the building and died.

  During his lifetime, Wu Yongning often did some dangerous high-altitude unprotected sports and challenged the tall buildings and bridges in Wuhan, Nanjing, Chongqing and other places. He would send the adventure video to the Internet in the form of a short video, which also gave him Not a small reputation.

  Until December 7, 2017, one month after Wu Yongning disappeared on the Internet, it was confirmed that he fell into the building while performing a high-altitude extreme exercise alone, and died because of serious injuries in the absence of anyone.

Wu Yongning suffered from a lack of physical strength and then fell to his death.

  According to previous reports, Tian'an Mountain, where An An carried out a wing-mounted flight, has also suffered many pilot deaths. In the second Tianmen Mountain Winged Flying World Championships held in 2013, Victor Kovac, a player from Hungary, unfortunately hit a mountain cliff during the test flight, and his skull was broken and killed.

  On January 26, 2017, Canadian Graham Dickinson, who had ten years of winged flight experience, died unexpectedly while training winged flight on the Tianmen East Line alone.

  Jebchris, the first American to cross the Tianmen Cave, also suffered multiple fractures in his legs after he fell on the ground due to airflow in a subsequent South African game.

  The wing-mounted flight movement has always had a huge risk factor, and some data show that the mortality rate of this sport once reached 30%. When performing wing-mounted flight, athletes must jump from high places such as valleys, high-rises, bridges, and airplanes, and glide with the wing-mounted wing-mounted wing-mounted structure.

  During the flight, athletes need to use limb movements to control the gliding direction and perform unpowered aerial flight. The maximum speed of falling is 50 kilometers per hour, the forward speed can reach more than 200 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed can reach 289 kilometers per hour. Athletes need to adjust their posture and open the parachute bag in a short time, which is extremely challenging and dangerous.

  Such a small "fault tolerance rate" leads to a very high mortality rate of the sport. Even the founder of the sport died in a parachuting in 1998.

  Of course, extreme sports also attracted a group of enthusiasts because of such excitement. It's just that this kind of stimulus will always go hand in hand with danger. In the end, it's not worth it. I'm afraid you need to think twice. (Finish)
