A Chinese man is lucky to be alive after falling from a cliff in southwest China while dangerously posing on the edge of a cliff for photographs. Video footage, filmed on March 17 shows him hanging off the cliff to get the perfect photo on the Jigong mountain in Chongqing city. The man then lost his grip and fell a dozen metres off the cliff.
The 29-second clip, posted by People's Daily to its Youtube page, first shows a man in a green shirt standing on his hands on a rock on the cliff.
He then posed for the camera standing on the rock.
Moments later, he was seen hanging off the cliff with his bare hands.
He then lost grip and tumbled over the cliff. Visitors can be heard screaming as he fell.
The Chinese man, surnamed Du, said he was hiking with a group of friends in Jigong mountain on that day, according to Chongqing Evening News.
Du was lucky as he walked away only with bruises and cuts on his arms and hands.
