Around 15 wheelchair users have earned their paragliding license in Switzerland. They had to overcome significant hurdles in the process. Among them was student pilot Simon Baumgartner, who suffers from a hereditary disease. A "10vor10" camera crew accompanied him on his training flights to document how the 28-year-old wheelchair user is reclaiming a measure of his freedom with determination.
