Default Re: Paraglider + thunderstorm = ugly situation

.....Wisnierska described Friday how she attempted to skirt the thunderstorm and when that failed, repeatedly attempted to spiral against its powerful lift.....

I won't question her skills in para-gliding, but I have to question the decision making process....Why on earth would you even launch in this type of wx?

I am guessing she didn't stay 20 miles from the storm.....
