Flying to 17,000 Feet On My Paramotor... Without Oxygen!

  • Please do not attempt this without oxygen! Every person reacts different at high altitudes. With that being said, I was happy to reach a personal goal of over 17,200 feet (going with the app that clocked the highest).
    The oxygen requirements I state for above 10000, 12000, and 14000 are Army regulation for aviation crews and occupants.

    Medic here:
    Make sure your hands are warm before using the pulse-ox. You can get a false reading due to cold weather causing your blood vessels to constrict, giving a false reading. Happens a lot with older people or hypothermic patients. Sometimes the skin is so cold you can't get a reading at all

    Glad you're OK. As a doctor, I have to say this was very dangerous. A cheap Walgreens pulse oximeter is not going to give you reliable readings, especially as your hands get cold and circulation becomes impaired. "Feeling good" as you said at altitude could be euphoria from severe hypoxia. Further, the physical effects of low oxygen levels cause different effects from one person to the next (so an oxygen level of 80% could be fatal to one, and cause only minimal symptoms to another person). Anyway, you already said not to attempt without oxygen, but just don't want other people to "try this at home".

I'm with the doc on this one, this was silly and a cheap Walgreens PulseOx ain't gonna give an accurate reading as surroundings change. Aye-- you made it back to the ground safe, and that's all well and good...but taking risks like this in the air...is dumb.

      Are you sure? I don't think so because I hiked the Cordillera Huaywash in the Peruvian Andes in 2011, the places we camped on those 18 nights were about 16,000 ft. I also climbed to the top of Diablo with my friend who had done that climb before and guided some treks with clients. Diablo is just over 17,500 feet or 5350 meters. I had no oxygen on the trek which was over 100 miles the way we did it. Didn't bother me except it was ultra cold at nights in the tent and hard to sleep. Yes we did chew coco leaves and sure it was a tough trek but from my experience, this worry is overblown. True that many people have a rough time with the elevation, maybe a genetic thing as well as conditioning of course. For some reason I felt less effects of the elevation than expected, still the climbs did get to be quite difficult at times. But the point is that nothing happened otherwise, never even a headache. How can it be so bad unless you're predisposed to altitude sickness by body type? I'm 64 now and last year hiked up Mt Whitney in Calif., tiring, hot in the sun, cold in the wind but other than sore feet and a real workout, it's nothing like people worry about.

      Don't forget... Your changes in altitude were gradual enough for you to safely adjust, and you've been doing that for so long, you're well adapted to high altitude. He was not, and was experiencing faster changes in altitude. Watch again, and listen to his speech patterns.

      Yup, I noticed that too. He was talking as if he was buzzed/high. You could hear the euphoria in his voice. It was very dangerous what he did, considering the sudden altitude change that he experienced, without gradually increasing it and without any prior acclimatization. Good thing he's ok. I guess that's why we watch him lol, 'cause he does crazy stuff.

    Sir,
    I fly a Beechcraft Baron high and have supplemental oxygen. I keep my O2 sat at least 91% and I use a lot higher flow than the book says to use. At 91% or greater I seem to do fine and not have headaches after flying. I am ex-military and airline and know about hypoxia. Dude, I think 77% or 80% is really low. This is my humble opinion. I may be mistaken but doesn't the FAA oxygen requirements apply to all pilots including paramotor??? I am not sure but I would research this. You may also consider that other pilots are not expecting a paramotor at 17000 feet and are probably doing 180 knots or more up there and you would be very difficult to pick up visually..... Take care, Paul

    Glad you stayed clear of class A airspace ;-)
    About those pulse oxymeters, from my experience in ER and ICU: if you get different readings the highest value usually is correct. If the fingers get cold, peripheral circulation is bad or if the device simply doesn't sit correctly on the finger you sometimes still get a weak signal and some nonsense result showing up on the display, but I've never seen too high readings that aren't plausible. Good devices also indicate the strength of the signal. If it's weak: don't believe what you see.
