Paraglider VS Eagle on helmet-cam

thought folks may find this a nice diversion

a Russian guy paragliding in the Himalayas in India, was attacked by 2 eagles (he calls them vultures), and one of them gets caught in his chute

and even though they crash into trees, both survive. - after all, dis is Russian paraglider...

he has a helmet cam so we get some decent footage of the event

long version on you tube here

what were they thinking? - were they expecting dominos pizza delivery?

That is quite an awesome find there
Loving the HD footage of the views, allways wanted to go paragliding, let alone over the Himalayas!

Those eagles though! What are the chances?! Got himself into a mess!



Thanks for sharing Highlander.

Lol who'd be an eagle there! If that's how brass the birds of prey are there, I'm staying clear!!
