The adrenaline-pumping adventure of paragliding reached new heights of excitement when a vulture decided to hitch a ride with a paraglider flying over in the forests of Brazil. The extraordinary moment was captured in a video that quickly went viral after being shared on Instagram by @the.experience.media.
In the footage, the vulture can be seen gracefully landing on the paraglider’s head, protected by a helmet. The man remained calm, and even appeared to enjoy the unexpected company.
This sport, called parahawking, involves trained birds flying alongside paragliders, offering enthusiasts a one-of-a-kind aerial experience. British instructor Scott Mason is credited with pioneering parahawking.
The video reached 23,000 likes and comments. One user wrote, “He was like: hey gimme sunglasses they match with me.” A second user said, “Magical is not how I would describe a bird’s attempt to eat a paraglider’s eye.” A third user commented, “The guy was so calm man I would’ve freaked out.” Another user said, “Vulture be like its too windy here dude can i borrow your glasses.”
