Scary flight: Nicky Moss was training for a paragliding competition in Canberra, Australia, when two eagles attacked her parachute. She was soaring 8,200 feet in the air when the birds started swooping at the nylon, tearing it with their talons. “They launched a sustained attack on my glider,” says Moss, 38. Things got more terrifying when one of the birds crashed into the back of her head and then got tangled in the lines and the canopy collapsed. She fell about 1,500 feet before she was able to regain control and the bird escaped and flew away. Amazingly, Moss landed unharmed.
