A paraglider was left dangling nearly 60 metres within the air after their parachute tangled on a construction tower crane in southwest China. <\/p>\n

The paraglider was falling towards Nanchong, a city within the Sichuan province, yesterday when the strings of their parachute caught within the crane.<\/p>\n

A viral video on the Chinese social media platform Weibo <\/a>shows an individual swinging within the air from their parachute to the side of a bridge. <\/p>\n

The incident happened on the banks of the Jialing River along Banzeng Street in Shunqing District, officials told the local paper, Dafeng News<\/a>. <\/p>\n

How long the person was stuck is unclear, with footage taken of the paraglider dangling each within the daytime and at night<\/a>. <\/p>\n

They were stranded for not less than an hour, a witness told Beijing News<\/a>, though some outlets <\/a>say the rescue operation took several hours. <\/p>\n
