A flying Santa has been throwing cameras to people from the sky. But instead of using a sleigh, he's paragliding.

A daredevil paraglider has made the first-ever legal flight off Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain.
Photographer Bernard Chen felt that there was more to aerial photography than drones and learned how to paraglide so that he could fly across West Virginia and capture the area in a new way.
A paraglider was soaring above the world at 2,500 feet recently when he decided to pull his selfie stick out to snap a memory of his adventure. While trying to remove his phone, however, the smartphone slipped from his grasp and fell to Earth. It was all captured in the 1.5-minute helmet cam video above (the drop is at 1:15).
George Steinmetz, a photographer who we featured previously, recently gave an inspiring 10-minute TED talk about his work. To capture unique images of Africa, Steinmetz took a motorized paraglider to the skies.
