Fortunately the pilot managed to open reserve chute and survived quite a rough landing into the forest. :O
He rescued the poor eagle from slings and let him fly away :salute
The language is... priceless :x

great vid, fortunately both are Ok!
Hanging on the Reserve you are just a passenger without control, he had a lucky landing, a little more to the right and
he would end up on a more inclined slope.

Great both are ok. What an experience.

I'm amazed how little empathy the bloke showed for the animal, considering they share the same hobby.
-
I'd probably react the same way considering the condition of my shorts!

amazing vid :aok

It ain't a hobby for the bird. You'd think it would have better eye sight and flight characteristics than to collide with a fricking paraglider in the sky. It's not like it was really crowded there. Since the bird nearly killed them both and the paraglider was NOT food at the time, I can understand why the guy would be a bit ticked off. :huh
Video title says it was a buzzard though, not an eagle.

I know it's his work, but I'm sure he enjoys it.
The Eagle probably didn't reackon on the size of that thing. I think considering its the Eagle's airspace, the paraglider man should have been a bit more apologetic :old:

It is not an eagle, it is a vulture.

Oh, roger. Still his airspace I think! :banana:

Poor thing. :( Glad nothing worse happened.
Big birds of prey are just awesome animals!

There were three birds originally. Looks like two saw it coming and one wasn't watching where he was going.

We don't have birds like this where I live. I just saw the wings and assumed. I did notice the very short feathers on his head.

Personaly, given the situation, I would of informed that bird that until I'm absolutley assured otherwise, his company may become quite welcomed and I insist he stick around at least until dinner.
