A PARAGLIDER is being hailed "the luckiest woman in the world" after surviving a violent storm that sucked her up higher than the peak of Mt Everest.
Ewa Wisnierska, 35, was catapulted upwards like a leaf at speeds of up to 20 metres per second to a height of almost 10,000m.
The German world champion paraglider then lapsed into unconsciousness as she was pounded by hail, almost struck by lightning, and covered in ice.
