Paraglider Attempts World Altitude Record with Challenging Conditions

The video covers an attempt to break the world altitude record for paragliding by ascending with a hot air balloon. Kung, an experienced paraglider, aimed to surpass his previous record of 9270 meters. Despite being well-prepared, the crew faced challenges, including a cameraman losing consciousness due to oxygen depletion. Kung successfully released at 10,100 meters, but faced visibility issues due to his mask freezing. He landed safely in Germany, much to the relief of his wife. The video also highlights Kung's other achievements, such as paragliding across the English Channel.
