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

short version here
media.smh.com.au...

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!
