Is it a plane? Is it Superman? No! It’s just a couple of men dangling in the air! While paragliding is one of the most popular adventure sports, it seems people are getting bored with the sport. In this world of online exposure, people try to become famous overnight. This pursuit of fame often makes people come up with the craziest of ideas. While in some instances the ideas come out as genius, in other instances make them look not so bright. 

Today’s instance, however, is a mixture of both. While combining cycling with paragliding might seem fascinating, the outcome, however, did not seem too brilliant.

The video, uploaded by Clips For You on X, formerly known as Twitter, was a bizarre one. One would actually have a problem understanding what exactly was transpiring in the initial seconds of the video. We could see a man in black cycling gear and helmet getting ready to ride his bike. However, the twist came in when another person appeared in the scene. 

This was no ordinary man though. As we found out that the man was a paraglider, he was seen in his full gear as well. The parachute was also attached to his back, ready for flight. Now, these scenarios would seem perfect if they had been two separate ones. Surprisingly, they were not. The paraglider was attached to the cyclist and as the cyclist started to advance, the parachute opened up and both of the men took flight.

The video ended on a bizarre note with the cyclist dangling mid-air while holding onto his bike. Although this was not a very good idea as a mishap could have happened at any moment, fans sure did take note of the same.
