Paraglider hit by vulture

The incident occurred in the Indian Himalayas. The vulture flew into the paraglider's ropes forcing the pilot to use his back up chute for a crash landing..ouch!

I reckon Ian might think twice now before a 2nd paraglide.  ;)

I never gave anything like that a thought John, flaming well would now though. Glad I done the jump before seeing that.
