I for one will be carrying all the gear I saw in that video if I ever paraglide.. That guy did extremely well recovering from a disasterous mid-air emergency.

Unfortunate accident for both but very happy to see it all sorted out in the end..

Wow! Tough bird! I'd be pretty stoked about getting to play with an eagle too :D

nice save !

Cheddarhead - 29-10-2011 at 08:02 PM

OMG! What a video. After freeing the eagle, I personally would have had to empty my shorts after that ordeal. Wheeew! Would have been nice to know what he was saying. Does youtube have a translator?

Kober - 29-10-2011 at 08:09 PM

Incredible!

Yikes !

So many amazing things combined .

I wondered long before he did it if the Eagle would remain calm enough to free him. One final act of bravery !

HOOJ !

yeah he had HOOOOJ stones getting near that bird on the ground.

I looked into falconry a bit in younger days and went out with a few guys doing cath and release..

RESPECT those feet or your in more hurt than you can imagine.. They are lightning fast and only bone stops them if they get ahold of you..

All that open airspace... Geez what are the odds...? :eekdrull:

As an experienced skydiver I can tell you that dual canopies out is one of the worst malfunctions you can have. Most people think that two canopies out is a good thing but it can turn real bad real fast. Nice video.

It is a great video to learn Russian swearing. Here is its translation:

Bladerunner - 5-11-2011 at 09:11 AM

Thanks Tonya,

I was so curious what he was swearing !

bobalooie57 - 5-11-2011 at 09:22 AM

:lol: Loved the translation, but when I first watched the video, I was thinking what the bird was saying! "Stupid human, don't you know if you were supposed to fly you would have feathers! Now look what you've done. Gonna get me killed you stupid $%^&*. Just wait 'til I get untangled, stupid human, and you will find out about beak and claw, me and my friends will pick your bones clean!"
