Heart-stopping footage has captured the moment a BASE jumper's parachute failed to open as he leapt off a cliff near Dover.
The man, who was part of a trio taking part in the extreme sport, plummeted straight to the bottom of the cliff - around 350 feet high - in the area of St Margaret’s Bay.
Just seconds earlier the man, dressed in all black with a bright orange helmet, was captured on camera going to the cliff edge and taking one last glance at the bottom.
He can then be seen running and taking the daring leap off the edge armed with the yellow parachute which fails to deploy.
Shocked witness Gavin Walker watched the horror unfold in front of him, which was followed by shouts of 'call an ambulance, call an ambulance.'
