Flying to 17,000 Feet On My Paramotor... Without Oxygen!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ส.ค. 2018
- Please do not attempt this without oxygen! Every person reacts different at high altitudes. With that being said, I was happy to reach a personal goal of over 17,200 feet (going with the app that clocked the highest).
The oxygen requirements I state for above 10000, 12000, and 14000 are Army regulation for aviation crews and occupants.

Amazing! Dangerous though. Glad you didn't ruin a record-making flight by crashing into the power lines.
Definitely enjoyed it....good data for your big trip...which I am looking forward to watching. Great views and video!!!

Saying he feels so good is a sign of hypoxia...

@@Redrocket120 HAHA
@@Redrocket120 Actually yes, a symptom of hypoxic hypoxia is euphoria.

"80% on the oxygen finger" Telltale signs of early hypoxia
Time to go down
It's. Now 5 April Covid 2020.... Is he down yet?? Oxygen finger at 3 %
Lmfaoooo I cracked up
That feeling of euphoria he mentioned is another sign lol
Cold fingers can change the result alot. As he said it changed from 80
Medic here:
Make sure your hands are warm before using the pulse-ox. You can get a false reading due to cold weather causing your blood vessels to constrict, giving a false reading. Happens a lot with older people or hypothermic patients. Sometimes the skin is so cold you can't get a reading at all
True.. Nurse here 👍
Oh no... at least he made it down ok...
Thank u for ur time im planning on joining the military soon
Janitor at a hospital here , yup, you're right.
I presume it misreading in cold will be in his favor.
Cold hands has less blood in skin an will give lower o2 readings.
As a former pilot I can say without equivocation that this gentleman has no idea how quickly hypoxia sets in. He's lucky to be alive.
Yes and I am a former astronaut.
I was thinking the same thing. This was very irresponsible.
Yeah you can notice his impaired thinking he was originally just going to 13 but went to 17
Yes lucky to survive. You might have noticed how his "joviality" increased as he rose. One of the first signs, a euphoric mood. He was on the cusp.
I was thinking to myself holy shit I feel a bit uneasy for him... glad it’s not just me
The crazy, mind-blowing thing? This is just over half a high as Mount Everest. In fact, this is the same elevation as Mount Everest's base camp! And you're still 7,000 feet lower than even the 100th tallest mountain.
its not even as high as everest base camp...the BOTTOM of the mountain

Well its been used for ages though, and he has literally a parachute open the whole time, parachutes been used longer than WWII. So everything is actually old tech, planes moved on to subsonic jet engines, this dude stuck a fan behind a chair lol

You won’t feel hypoxia AT ALL. It sneaks up and next thing you know, you’re waking up a few thousand feet lower.
Snakedoctor O'Reilly yup. Before you even realize you’re hypoxic your cognition go to that of like a five-year-old or 4year-old and you’re not able to correct the situation. Leading to a gruesome death.

Yeah...I was gonna post something along those lines! But I guess all's well that ends without an incident/coroner's report 😂
Hypoxia is pretty similar to being drunk. His speech was definitely slowed and slipped a bit when he got to higher altitudes lol.
That’s the first thing that crossed my mind when he said that lol. It’s not really dangerous though, if he passed out he would wake up eventually during the almost 1hr descent back to ground level
Read this right when he said it
yah exactly 😅🤣

bro im too scard to jump
Glad you're OK. As a doctor, I have to say this was very dangerous. A cheap Walgreens pulse oximeter is not going to give you reliable readings, especially as your hands get cold and circulation becomes impaired. "Feeling good" as you said at altitude could be euphoria from severe hypoxia. Further, the physical effects of low oxygen levels cause different effects from one person to the next (so an oxygen level of 80% could be fatal to one, and cause only minimal symptoms to another person). Anyway, you already said not to attempt without oxygen, but just don't want other people to "try this at home".
17k isn't enough to kill you or pass out. Even if he gets stupid, he'll eventually run out of gas and eventually float down to an altitude where he comes to his senses.
blurglide float down brain dead
@@IronHexacyanoferrate No dude. He's nowhere near the death zone.
blurglide I meant if he passed out and floated down :P
Either way-- taking risks in any type of aeronautical vehicle unless forced to is borderline stupid. As a pilot you are taught to minimize risks...not create them for the sake of TH-cam. I'm with the doc on this one, this was silly and a cheap Walgreens PulseOx ain't gonna give an accurate reading as surroundings change. Aye-- you made it back to the ground safe, and that's all well and good...but taking risks like this in the air...is dumb.
The cool temperatures make it hard to get an accurate reading on the pulse/ox. He dang sure cut it close to those power lines at the end.

Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
if you're fingers are cold, those BOL readers become inaccurate
You are VERY lucky. I could hear the effects of hypoxia in your voice. Don't try that again, especially when you get to be my age. You won't survive. No kidding. Thanks for the video. Was very educational.
Are you sure? I don't think so because I hiked the Cordillera Huaywash in the Peruvian Andes in 2011, the places we camped on those 18 nights were about 16,000 ft. I also climbed to the top of Diablo with my friend who had done that climb before and guided some treks with clients. Diablo is just over 17,500 feet or 5350 meters. I had no oxygen on the trek which was over 100 miles the way we did it. Didn't bother me except it was ultra cold at nights in the tent and hard to sleep. Yes we did chew coco leaves and sure it was a tough trek but from my experience, this worry is overblown. True that many people have a rough time with the elevation, maybe a genetic thing as well as conditioning of course. For some reason I felt less effects of the elevation than expected, still the climbs did get to be quite difficult at times. But the point is that nothing happened otherwise, never even a headache. How can it be so bad unless you're predisposed to altitude sickness by body type? I'm 64 now and last year hiked up Mt Whitney in Calif., tiring, hot in the sun, cold in the wind but other than sore feet and a real workout, it's nothing like people worry about.
Don't forget... Your changes in altitude were gradual enough for you to safely adjust, and you've been doing that for so long, you're well adapted to high altitude. He was not, and was experiencing faster changes in altitude. Watch again, and listen to his speech patterns.
Yup, I noticed that too. He was talking as if he was buzzed/high. You could hear the euphoria in his voice. It was very dangerous what he did, considering the sudden altitude change that he experienced, without gradually increasing it and without any prior acclimatization. Good thing he's ok. I guess that's why we watch him lol, 'cause he does crazy stuff.
He was talking like he was cold and his face was frozen
That would definitely have also been the case at that altitude, but it was definitely hypoxia. I was trained to recognize the symptoms. :)
Got butterflies in my stomach just watching, was it really as close to the powerlines or a trick of the camera? Great video, the glide down must have been so cool, no pun intended, cheers from NZ
The saying that goes something like "There are old pilots and there are bold pilots. There are no old bold pilots." Something like that comes to mind.

Sir,
I fly a Beechcraft Baron high and have supplemental oxygen. I keep my O2 sat at least 91% and I use a lot higher flow than the book says to use. At 91% or greater I seem to do fine and not have headaches after flying. I am ex-military and airline and know about hypoxia. Dude, I think 77% or 80% is really low. This is my humble opinion. I may be mistaken but doesn't the FAA oxygen requirements apply to all pilots including paramotor??? I am not sure but I would research this. You may also consider that other pilots are not expecting a paramotor at 17000 feet and are probably doing 180 knots or more up there and you would be very difficult to pick up visually..... Take care, Paul

Eric K everyone is different. I've seen people around 60% and awake. I've seen people at 80% barely able to breathe. The pulseox also can have a decent delay to it as well, so he may have been low before he even got to that altitude.
The problem with O2 deprivation is it robs you of the judgement to know that its robbing you of judgement. Recommended altitudes are MSL, not AGL.
They aren't just recommended, they are the law. It's illegal to fly above 15,000 MSL without supplemental oxygen.

I think the scariest part is having a commercial airplane heading towards you. That would desaturate him quickly to 50% oxygen
Sam Jackson this idea just made me piss myself lol
No commercial aircraft will ever fly on 17,000 feet... which is already too high for casual paramotors
It would empty his bowels, not his lungs!
If I did this I would freak out, hyperventilate, pass out, and die.
Same.

14:00 omg I thought you were hitting those power lines close one dude
Alphanatrix1067 yah
Out of all the things that happened in this video, power lines were your concern? Lmao
TTV THAGNOGS yes
@@thagnogs Of the things that happened....why are power lines the lowest on the list of things to be concerned with?
TTV THAGNOGS I bet you’re not the brightest one in your family
Man you need to be in the Air Force or NASA with that courage you got!
This is absolutely amazing and fasinating . I'd love to try this. It's almost like you are flying.
Imagine u dropping that phone from that 17,000ft height 😁
If it was a Nokia it would leave a crater but be totally fine
@@Treydies lol
*TechRax wants to know your location*
Luckily it was strapped in
Dive and catch it
Thank You for curing my constipation. I jus sht myself !!
naxel37 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a Paramedic for 20+ years, this a great idea and a video!
Now that's a breathtaking experience
we just gunna ignore the fact that at 14:00 he almost got cooked by the power lines?????!!!!!?!?!?
EDIT: HOLY FUCK NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT I SAID THIS SHIT AS A JOKE CAN WE STOP FUCKING ARGUING
Thank you! Finally someone acknowledged this hahaha
I peeped it too, I thought he was boutta end up like invisible cuz from Deadpool 2@@shanewilson1160
Nothing would really happen to him if he hit them.. He would just dangle there energized to thousands of volts....Current won't flow unless he touches the lines plus the ground. Still though wouldn't want to be in a situation like that though ;0
Cindy Foster the voltage would run through him over and over again since he isn’t grounded and is sitting on metal and what not. And it only take 120V to kill you
he actually wasn't that close it was the fov of the go pro that made him seem closer.
"the oxygen finger" seems a lil hypoxic there lol
Great Job Buddy.
13:56 I thought you are going to hit pole wires.
I think he did too. You can hear it in his voice at the moment he realized how close they were
Spooky but he doesn’t say anything at that time?
