Forgive me, this is really off topic, but I had to put this one out there. I first read about Ueli Gegenschatz a few years ago after a friend of mine and I went paragliding in Switzerland. I was saddened to learn of his death earlier this week.
Some call this guy and his mates crazy, but its people like Ueli Gegenschatz who pushed the envelope so the rest of us may someday enjoy the fruits of their labor, and their loss.
Don’t quite agree? Watch the video below and then tell me if you think Orville and Wilbur Wright were viewed as the most sensible people in their time? I rather doubt it.
Thanks for bringing us closer to real flight Ueli, and rest in peace.
