A man who went hang gliding for the first time had to cling onto a metal bar for more than two minutes when his pilot forgot to hook him onto the glider, heart-stopping footage has shown.
The terrifying clip from Chris Gursky's first day on holiday in Switzerland has been shared by the YouTuber - after the fun activity turned into a 'near death experience.'
The auto-parts manager and photographer from Florida had to 'hang on for his life' during the ride he videoed, and later named 'Swiss Mishap'.
After taking off from a 4,000 ft mountain edge Mr Gursky had to hang on for two minutes and 14 seconds, as the pilot desperately trying to steer with one hand to get him safely to the ground.
