Norway: basejumper survives fall from cliff after high bar snaps - video

A Norwegian basejumper has a lucky escape after the high bar he launched off snapped, sending him over the edge of a 1,200m cliff. Surgeon Richard Henriksen had meant to somersault off the high bar, but the apparatus broke and he was sent hurtling off the edge of the mountain. Fortunately he avoided hitting the rock face and was able to open his parachute (via guardian.co.uk)
