Re: Eagle Gets Tangled in Lines of Parachute

Woa poor eagle... Hope it was ok.
They showed this clip on BBC news this morning and the eagle flew away safely, was some extended footage

Vladimir Tsar'kov was paragliding over the Indian Himalayas when the two birds of prey swooped, one flying below him and the other continuing up into his parachute and becoming entangled.
With his chute rendered ineffective, the 25-year-old Russian was forced to deploy his reserve parachute as he struggled to regain a modicum of control and began to plummet to the ground.
Fortunately the experienced thrillseeker had the skill to bring himself down in a clearing, although he did not come to a complete halt until he had been dragged him through some uncomfortable looking undergrowth.
After confirming his own wellbeing, Mr Tsar'kov turned his attention to the still trapped eagle.
It took him nearly ten minutes to untangle the bird, which then flew off apparently unscathed.
The Himalayas are popular with paragliders and flights often take place close to the eagles, which gliders use to guide them to columns of warm air that help them soar higher.

He handled that well. Glad the eagle got off unscathed as well. Notice how calm the bird was throughout the ordeal? That was also awesome.

Re: Eagle Gets Tangled in Lines of Parachute

The incident occurred in the Indian Himalayas. The eagle flew into the paraglider slings. Luckily, the pilot used the reserve parachute and all ended well.

P.S.: Yes, the guy says EAGLE although it's a vulture. :)

Re: Eagle Gets Tangled in Lines of Parachute

Awesome. Just awesome. Not only a beautiful past time, a near death experience with a positive and humourous out look. And animal welfare thrown in to boot.......
