Overview
- Footage captures the man stepping to the edge for a selfie before tumbling off the cliff near Blade Rock on Huaying Mountain in Guang'an.
- Witnesses rushed to the brink after the fall, though the man was briefly out of sight in the trees below.
- He later posted that he felt “blessed by the mountain gods,” describing a roughly 40-metre drop followed by a 15-metre slide, and he suffered no major injuries.
- Reported estimates of the fall distance vary across accounts, with figures including about 50 feet, 130 feet, and the man's own 40-metre description.
- Local authorities state the spot is outside the designated scenic zone and prohibit climbing, as travel and safety agencies issue fresh advisories urging visitors to heed signs and avoid unstable edges.
