A skydiver fell 20 metres to the ground while attempting a parachute flight from the top of a mountain in Vietnam in this shocking video.
According to eyewitnesses, the man parachuted off the top of a mountain in the northwestern Yen Bai province as part of a paragliding festival on May 31.
He encountered a gust of strong wind blowing in the opposite direction, which caused the man's flight to stall and he plummeted an estimated 20 metres to the ground.
Rescuers quickly approached the place where the man fell and took him to the hospital.
Reportedly he suffered a spinal injury in the fall, but was otherwise not in a life-threatening condition.
