this is a paraglider. he comes slow, low, over the body of water. there's a bit of a dam there and i guess he's lucky? >> oh. >> that's not what he was planning. no, no, no. >> no. i would call that a refreshing flight for sure. the next guy flying over the countryside in slovenia has a different problem. he's out there with a bunch of buddies. you can see the paragliders out in the distance but what you can't see is what causes this guy to have such huge problems right here. >> oh. >> what happened? >> no. >> all of a sudden he goes into a stall. the main wing collapses he said. he's spinning out of control. he's trying to pump it to get it to inflate again. that doesn't work so in a split decision he tosses his reserve chute. when he does that, he says his main chute reinflates. now he's struggling with two separate chutes. homes o he's out of control and headed for the ground. >> oh, no. >> man. >> that didn't sound good. >> that was a bit of a hard landing for sure. he does, however, miss the rocks that you see. he managed to fracture his back i

he is going to paraglide off the great wall of china. >> oh, my gosh. that's a cool launchpad. >> needless to say he probably didn't have an okay to do this. >> the great wall's, like, 13,000 miles long, so i think they probably don't monitor this section just by the appearance of it. >> pos it onyoutube. >> here he is getting his c jume takes a leap and off he goes. >> that's a high spot, too. >> yeah. >> wow. >> they're gliding. you see parts of the great wall below him. >> oh, that's epic, though, wow what a scene! >> he flies for about 19 seconds. and then lands in some bushes at the bottom of the wall. >> not a windy day i guess there for old john. >> nope. he does spot someone on the great wall. he shouts. they scream back at him. listen to what he said at the end. >> the guards are laughing we're good. >> the guards are laughing, we're good? >> yeah. i think he might be overconfident. because now we're going to arrest you. we see you. >> he claims he's the first person to speed fly off the great wall of china. he also claims he was the first pers
