An Austrian BASE jumper was rescued in southern Thailand after being stuck for hours 200 meters above the ground on a cliff side, Monday, January 13.

Nearby residents of Phattalung spotted the 28-year-old Johannes Grasser dangling by his parachute cords early in the morning.

Rescue workers were forced to hike to the top of the cliff and lower a climber down, reaching Grasser by 2 p.m. local time and lowering him to safety.

BASE jumping stands for building, antenna, span (such as a bridge) and earth (such as a cliff), the four most common objects jumpers leap and parachute down from. (AP)
