Ewa Wisinierska, being a German paragliding champion had never imagined in her wildest dream that one day her passion would lend her in a critical situation. There were about 200 fellow paragliders with her in the training session of Paragliding World Championship when she was ready to set off to the sky. The venue was New South Wales, Austrailia and, Ewa was ready for another larger than life experience. However, little did she know that she was launching off in the sky only to become a subject of interest for the global news media.

Not Cool

Ewa was very excited for the championship that was to be held in New South Wales of Australia. She and her team reached the venue a few days before the championship to prepare well for the contest. Her training was going smoothly till the time she decided to go on paragliding. Going on Paragliding in that weather was indeed full of dangers and the possibility of a coming storm had already been deemed by the weather department. A bunch of storm clothes had been spotted in the north direction and with the progression of day, the warning regarding the thunderstorm got even severe.
