Watch | Daredevils leap 13,000 ft from iconic Chinese bridge

A group of daredevils base jumpers leap 13,000 ft from iconic Balinghe River Bridge in China. The staggering footage was taken on November 7.

Christopher Carnahan, base jumper and police officer from Los Angeles, California, said: “I love the exhilaration. The whole experience was transcending - to go from the big city to the countryside and smaller towns only to arrive beneath this massive structure slung across the valley”.

Base jumpers launch from fixed objects with parachutes that are specially designed for fast openings.
