'Thrill-inducing footage surfacing from Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland shows a daredevil jumping from a bridge.

"This suspension bridge is only 100m above the canyon," the subject, Lane Paquin said. "Usually, one wears a harness and two climbing carabiners just to cross. My friend and I carefully made our way to the middle with our base jumping parachutes."

Lane further added that due to the short gap between the bridge and the canyon below it, his friend had to hold the bridle to his parachute to ensure fast deployment.

He also stressed that the stunt on display can be quite dangerous if attempted without proper training.


Name: Lane Paquin
Location: Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland'
