IMora Mora, indawo enophahla oluyi-2 300 leenyawo zegranite eMadagascar, ibekwa njengenye yeendlela ezinzima kakhulu zokukhwela ehlabathini inendoda enye kuphela eyenze yaya phezulu ukusukela oko yaqala ukusekwa ngo-1999. Oko kukuthi, kwade kwinyanga ephelileyo xa Umkhweli wasimahla uSasha DiGiulian woyisa, ebeka irekhodi lokunyuka kwabasetyhini bokuqala.

Loo mzuzu unzima (awawufeza ecaleni kweqabane lakhe elinyukayo u-Edu Marin), yayiyincopho yephupha leminyaka emithathu lomdlali weRed Bull, imbuyekezo yeeyure ezingenakubalwa zoqeqesho, ukuhamba, ukuziqhelanisa nendlela yakhe, kwaye ekugqibeleni wakhwela iintsuku ezintathu. ngqo ngelixa ulinganisa "iikristali ezincinci ezingenamsebenzi zincinci kunamandongomane aqingqiweyo." Ngaphandle kwako konke ukuzilungiselela nokuzimisela, uyavuma ukuba ngamanye amaxesha, ebengaqinisekanga ukuba uyakugqiba. (Ukunyuka kufuna ukubamba amandla, okubaluleke kakhulu kuwo onke amantombazana afanelekileyo.)

"Ndandingazi ukuba ndiza kukwazi ukwenza oku, kwaye ndacinga ukuba ukuya eMadagascar kuphela kwendlela endinokufumana ngayo!" uxelele Ubume ngokukodwa. "Ingcinga yam yokuqala yokufikelela encotsheni yayiyile 'ndiyathemba ukuba andiyiphuphi le nto, ukuba andizukuvuka kwisango (abakhweli beqonga eliphathwayo balala ngexesha lokunyuka kweentsuku ezininzi] kwaye kusafuneka ndinyuke!"

Kodwa yayingengombono wentaba, yayiyinyani kakhulu. Kwaye ngelixa wayenokumangaliswa yimpumelelo yakhe, nabani na olandele ikhondo lakhe lomsebenzi wayesazi ukuba wayenayo engxoweni. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ukuseta irekhodi ayisiyonto intsha kwiDiGiulian. Nge-19, intshatsheli eyakhwela yabangoyena mntu ubhinqileyo eMntla Melika ukugqiba elona nqanaba linzima lokunyuka elakhe lafikelelwa ngumntu obhinqileyo, wenyuka u-Era Vella eSpain. Ke nge-22, waba ngumfazi wokuqala ukukhwela mahala "kwiDonga lokuBulala" kwiiAlps zaseSwitzerland. Kwaye khange akhawuleze ukusukela oko, ethatha inyuko labasetyhini ukuya kwiindawo eziphakamileyo (uxolo, kuye kwafuneka aye apho).

Impumelelo yakhe ayizanga ngokulula, bambi ekunyukeni kwabahlali bemgxeka "ngobuntombi" bakhe (nantoni na lonto kuthetha), ukuqikelela malunga nokuhla kwesisindo sakhe kunye nenqanaba lobudlelwane (ngubani okhathalayo?!), kunye nokubuza imibuzo yakhe yokunyuka. Okubizwa ngokuba "yimveli" abakhweli baziwa ngokuphila ubomi bemihla ngemihla kwiiveni ngelixa besitya iimbotyi ngaphandle kwetoti kwaye bangaze bahlambe, kodwa oko akuzange kube yikomityi yeti yeDiGiulian (er, iimbotyi). Ukhawuleza abonise ukuba oku akunanto yakwenza nezakhono zokunyuka. (Ufuna ukuzizamela ezemidlalo ezimbi? Qalisa ngezi ngcebiso zabaqalayo zokukhwela iliwa.)

“Ngokuqinisekileyo ndikhule ulusu olutyebileyo ngokuba ngumfazi onyukayo,” utshilo. "Ndiyathanda ukupeyinta iinzipho zam ezipinki, ndithanda izithende eziphakamileyo, ukunxiba, kunye nokulala kubunewunewu. Ndiyakuthanda nokulala i-1,500 yeenyawo phezulu kwi-ledge encinci phakathi kweMadagascar, ukuvuka, kunye nokunyuka. I-dirtbag yokuphila-leyo ayindim. Ndikhululekile ukuba ndinguye kunye nento endiyithandayo; oku akuthethi ukuba ndingumntu ongaphantsi kunomfana ohlala evenini." [Faka i-emoji yezandla zokudumisa.]

Okwangoku, sele ecwangcisa uhambo lwakhe olukhulu olulandelayo. Ukunyuka kuye kwandinika lo mthombo mkhulu wokuzithemba ebendingahlali ndinayo, utshilo. "Ndiziva ndikhululekile kulusu lwam ngelixa ndinyuka. Ingathi ndingowaphi."
