Eagles Attack a Paraglider
11/07/2011
Here's a video showing some crazy footage of a man paragliding the Himalayas who has the shock of his life when two eagles materialize out of nowhere and smash into him. It's possible that the eagles were engaged in a mid-air courtship display and unwittingly collided with the paraglider (eagles don't typically attack people), or that they perceived the paraglider as a threat and were indeed aggressively attacking. Either way, it was an odd, scary and unexpected outcome for sure!

That Russian man was paragliding with his Axis Mercury 2008 paraglider.
