A thrill enthusiast in Utah was rescued after slamming into the side of a mountain during a BASE jump in an accident that was captured on video.

In video taken by hikers and obtained by KTTV-TV, hikers near Moab, Utah filmed a BASE jumper’s parachute being caught in a wind gust and pushed into a 400-foot cliff known as Tombstone in Kane Creek Canyon.

After hitting the cliff, the jumper’s parachute catches a ledge stopping him from his free fall but suspending him more than 100 feet in the air. 

The jumper was suspended hanging from the ledge for over an hour before rescue teams were able to rescue him, according to Grand County Search and Rescue.

The incident was one of three BASE jumping incidents to happen in the area over the weekend where an event called the Turkey Boogie was being held. It is not clear if this jumper was part of the event which was being held to raise money for Grand County Search and Rescue.

BASE jumping, which involves jumping from a fixed object before deploying a parachute and gliding back to earth, is one of the more dangerous extreme sports and is popular with visitors to the Moab area.

In July, a BASE jumper died at Parriott Mesa about 20 miles northeast of Moab after crashing into the side of a slope, the Sacramento Bee reported.
