Damn.
Quote:
A German paraglider was encased in ice and blacked out after being sucked into a tornado-like thunderstorm in Australia and carried to a height greater than Mount Everest. She survived.?The glider kept climbing, climbing and I couldn?t see anything," recalled Ewa Wisnerska. "Then it got dark."
The 2005 World Cup winner was lifted 32,612 feet (9,940 meters) above sea level by the storm near Manilla in New South Wales state while preparing for the tenth FAI World Paragliding Championships next week.

"The official world record for gain of height is held by Robbie Whittal, England, who gained 4526M on January 6th, 1993 in Brandvlei, South Africa." - wikipedia
