according to a report by fox news on september 23, a french adventurer recently turned his childhood dream into reality. he successfully jumped from a cliff on a "flying carpet" and "soared", becoming a real-life aladdin.
the extreme flying enthusiast is named freddy montigny, 44 years old, who has been engaged in extreme sports for many years. he calls himself a "professional carpet rider." he used the expertise he gained from paragliding, skydiving and hang gliding over the years to invent a unique stunt - "flying" on a carpet. one of his videos shows montigny lying on a carpet and "flying" in the air.
“i have always been curious about what part of the myths and legends i heard as a child are true,” montigny said. “i started paragliding at 25, skydiving at 30, and hang gliding at 35. these sports helped me master the technique of ‘carpet flying.’”
montigny calls the parachute his main safety net. if anything goes wrong during the flight, he will loosen the carpet and open the parachute. given the height he is jumping from, there is enough time to correct the mistake. in his social media post, montigny wrote: "the 'flying carpet' allows me to connect my childhood dreams with the reality of adults." he also said: "although this 'flying carpet' cannot take me to any destination at any speed, it is still a magical way to defy reality."
