Paragliding Instructor Takes To The Skies On A Couch

A paragliding instructor soared through the sky while chilling on a couch watching the telly.

Hasan Kaval, 29, from Izmir, Turkey, managed to attach a specially designed sofa to a frame with a parachute and some wheels - he also tacked on a lamp, footstool and TV, for a bit of a laugh.

In the clip, which he shared on YouTube, Kaval can be seen being pushed down a hill by some mates before he becomes airborne.

Once up in the air, Kaval takes off his shoes, swaps them for some comfy slippers and puts his feet up.

As he glides through the sky, he can be seen watching Tom and Jerry on the TV - below him you can see the ocean.

While the video alone is enough to give me vertigo, Kaval looks chilled as you like as he sits back tucking into some snacks and having a can of soft drink.

What makes the whole thing even more impressive - or terrifying depending on how you look at it - is the fact that Kaval wasn't strapped in.

But he insists he wasn't bothered, explaining: "I wasn't scared, my friends trusted me. It was fine." Well, rather you than me, pal.

After his trip to the skies, he added: "I felt so good and relaxed." Yeah? If you think that's relaxing you should try watching TV at home where there's zero risk of falling hundreds of feet into the ocean.

Kaval said he has dreamed off pulling off the stunt for a couple of years and finally decided to give it a go.

Since posting the clip online, it's racked up almost 300,000 viewers and has been flooded with comments from people seriously impressed by the bizarre stunt.

One person said: "Best video I have seen in ages, well done, the balls of steel award 2020 is presented to you. I have no idea what you were saying but I'm sure it was great."

Someone else wrote: "Epic! This guy is cooler than the other side of my pillow."

While a third joked: "Come on dude, get up off your couch and do something today. Go outside and get some fresh air at least."
