On Man vs. Wild, Bear Grylls flew a para-sail with a supercharged lawnmower engine over (as in over the top) of Mt. Everest. It looks just like a para-sail, only instead of being pulled by a boat or a car, it has a propeller. He had a two bit radio that cut out on him, and was on oxygen most of the time.

If his oxygen mask blew off, he'd have passed out and died, among jillions of things that could have gone wrong. He makes the Chinese dude look pretty sane.
