A BASE jumper is lucky to be alive, after an accident that required a daring rescue Saturday.
Exclusive video, taken by hikers near Moab, Utah on Nov. 26, shows the jumper’s parachute catching a gust of wind, before slamming into a 400-foot cliff called Tombstone in Kane Cree Canyon. After the crash, the footage then shows the jumper’s parachute narrowly catching a ledge, breaking his freefall and suspending him more than 100 feet in the air.
According to Grand County Search and Rescue, the jumper dangled for more than one hour while teams worked to rescue him. An official with GCSR confirmed to FOX 11 Los Angeles that the jumper was alive when he was eventually airlifted out of the canyon.
