This Daredevil Literally Paraglided His Bed In The Sky While Taking A Nap

In case you’ve ever done paragliding — either going down a mountain or near the beach —  you know that it’s a somewhat peaceful yet exhilarating experience, gradually ascending into the sky, flying like a bird and landing back to reality.

However, this paraglider on YouTube who goes by the name of Hasan Kaval took things to the next level by actually taking a nap, in his bed while paragliding. He literally strapped his bed with bedside tables, lamps, alarm clocks and even a teddy bear to a large paragliding chute and took off a cliff, with some help.

The video shows his team lifting him on their shoulders like a pallbearer and running to help the chute catch the wind. In no time, Hasan is in the air trying to stabilise the glider. Within seconds after adjusting the glider, you see him setting the alarm on the clock, put on an eye mask and take a nap while his bed-glider is flying over the coast. 

After a few minutes, you see him waking up and descending to the beach as the crowd cheered his unbelievable feat. The video was published on September 16 and within a week’s time, it has garnered over 2.4 lakh views.

How can a bed fly like that?

Paragliding allows humans or in this case, humans with a full-fledged bed fly in the air with ease thanks to the winds. According to HowStuffWorks, the paraglider wing is made just like a parachute with nylon ripstop, however, it is elliptical in shape to allow sharp manoeuvres. These have cells like the parachute that allows the air to enter and trap, providing necessary lift. 

Launching often happens by facing towards the wind which transforms a sheet of fabric into a tangible canopy that would lift anything connected to it. These are connected to lines — chords that help to move the glider mid-flight. These chords also act as brakes to control the glider from flying haywire. 

Air flows over the top and the bottom of the glider and meets at the edge. Aerodynamics witness the pressure on the bottom of the glider is higher than on the top of the glider. This creates lift upwards and it can make heavy things fly with ease. Really cool way to defy gravity!
