Paragliding video is new YouTube hit

2 October, 2009

If you haven’t seen YouTube Brazil’s latest hit, brace yourself. The paragliding action is minimal but spectacular.

Titled Biafra e o Parapente the action takes place on a sea wall on a short stretch of Brazil’s verdant coastline.

The Brazilian singer Biafra is singing a light little number (coincidentally, the lyrics are about flying) in Portuguese when a paraglider comes into view.

The next minute a small tuck sees the pilot veer towards the singer and crash-land at the very edge of the sea-cliff, covering the singer in the canopy.

From the look of the video both pilot and singer were left unhurt.

Uploaded two weeks ago the 20-second clip has had close to a quarter of a million views so far.
