Paraglider lands safely, is immediately attacked by kangaroos

“Fuckin’ kangaroos”

We’ve all been there, mate. Well, not literally. Most of us actually probably haven’t safely landed after a paragliding session only to be set upon by kangaroos. But in a metaphorical sense, we’ve all been there.

A clip shared by Australia’s Special Broadcasting Service on their official Twitter page shows the paraglider coming in for a very smooth landing before spotting a kangaroo bouncing towards him in the distance.

At first, the glider is playing it cool and greets the ‘roo with a breezy “What’s up, Skip?”, before immediately realising that Skip is not his friend and simply wants to fuck him up.

The kangaroo lands one hard kick, prompting the man to say “Agh, fuck off”, and then he comes back for another bite before being successfully shooed away. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like any real harm was done.

Great video though, check it out below.
