Bird strike in the Himalayas

Have a look at:

Paraglider struck by two vultures in the Himalayas and had to come down under his reserve. The reporter says it was his first flight on a paraglider. Amazing

yeah I heard it on the TV that it was his first flight......in the himalayas (sounds better when you leave half of the truth out).

If it was his first flight I suspect he would have come down under the reserve anyway after flying a competition glider and pod harness on his EP course.
