A paraglider crashed into three hikers while landing at the Ngong Ping campsite in Ma On Shan Country Park, injuring them; the injured were conscious when taken to hospital. According to a Radio Television Hong Kong report on 8 November 2026, a 42-year-old woman and two boys aged 14 and 15 were injured, and the female victim reported the incident via HKSOS; the male subject has been self-learning paragliding since January this year, and the police's preliminary investigation believes the case has no criminal element and has temporarily listed it as a request for police assistance. Let me state the answer first: this is a misalignment of terrain, wind gaps and the flow of people's movement lines overlapping in the same time period, not the injured being "unlucky."
Ngong Ping is inherently a "seat that gathers wind"
When I look at mountains, I first look at the configuration. Ngong Ping is a plateau campsite with open terrain, and the surrounding slopes channel the wind toward the platform. For a paraglider to land, it precisely needs this lift and convection; for hikers to rest, they are likewise naturally drawn to this flat ground. The same "gathering" is a help to flyers and a pressure to people on the ground. This is the misalignment in landform: the prosperous energy gathers in one place, yet it gathers two kinds of use at the same time.
The flow of people's movement lines is also part of the landform
I do not only draw the shape of the mountain; I also draw how people walk. From the campsite entrance to the platform, and from the platform to the viewing spots, hikers mostly walk along the edges and stop in open areas to take photos. The paraglider's landing line usually cuts diagonally from the wind gap into the center of the platform. When the two lines cross, that is the most easily overlooked link in "heaven's timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony": it is not that anyone did something wrong, but that the same piece of land carries two rhythms. My judgment is that on this kind of open platform, hikers should keep to the edges and should not linger in the very center.
Living on hillside high ground: when choosing a residence, first look at the "incoming force"
Extending this to housing, I hold that residents of hillside, high-ground, open and exposed locations should, when choosing a flat, first look at the "incoming force" rather than only at the view. As for the forms outside the window, I first look at whether there is a continuously wind-channeling slope gap, platform, footbridge or large open space directly facing the unit; where wind rushes straight in year-round, people living there easily become scattered in spirit and irregular in daily routine. This is not to say that place is "inauspicious," but that one must first measure the sitting direction and lay out the宅盘 (house chart), to see whether the unit can contain this force.
Everyday practices for living in open places
My approach is very concrete. First, where windows are often exposed to direct wind, use curtains, screens, or adjust the times of opening windows, to change "direct impact" into "gentle entry." Second, for units whose door faces a long corridor or a large platform, first measure the sitting direction, then look at the door, bed and stove, and keep the bed and long-term seating away from the line directly facing the incoming force. Third, in open places such as balconies and rooftops, activities should have boundaries: drying clothes, airing things, and sitting for long periods should all avoid occupying the section directly facing the wind gap.
Annual flying stars must be read together with the house chart
I do not like to use a single annual flying-star chart to pronounce judgment on the whole house. The house chart is the base, and the annual flying stars are the changes of the year; the two must be read together; which palaces the main door, bedroom and kitchen fall in, and where the residents move about every day, are the key points. To lay out a chart, one should prepare the actually measured sitting direction, floor plan, the year of construction or major reconstruction, and the residents' birth dates and times; if the information is insufficient, I will not force the star positions onto it.
Do not blame the injured for the accident
I especially want to say one thing: calling the accident the injured's "bad luck" or "incompatible bazi" is being wise after the event. The same piece of land may match different residents differently, but the victims' birth data should not be used as an excuse to explain a tragedy. Only by discussing responsibility and luck separately can feng shui be explained clearly.
My conclusion
In the Ngong Ping matter, my judgment is that it is a misalignment of terrain and the flow of people's movement lines, not that anyone had bad luck. For readers living on hillsides, high ground or open locations, the next step is simple: first look at the incoming force outside the window, then measure the sitting direction and lay out the house chart, then adjust the door, bed, stove and frequently used positions, to keep the "undeserved force" outside daily life. Doing these things well does not amount to a guarantee of safety; fire safety, traffic and activity safety must still each be attended to. Feng shui is about arrangement, not about finding a pleasant excuse for an accident.
