Paraglider dangles from crane after becoming snagged during jump in China

A paraglider was left dangling from a crane after he became entangled during a jump in China.

Eyewitness footage taken in the daytime shows the individual suspended nearly 60 metres in the air on Friday (19 June), after their glider's lines got caught during a jump towards the city of Nanchong.

A later clip taken at night shows a firefighter ladder being extended to rescue the stuck paraglider.

They suffered no injuries, the Shunqing District Fire Brigade in Nanchong City said.
