Reveller survives 60ft fall at music festival

Amateur video captures the moment a festival goer plunges from scaffolding at the Creamfields music festival in Sydney, Australia.



In the video the unidentified man, wearing only a pair of shorts, climbs up scaffolding to the delight of the crowd before attempting to stand on top of the structure and wave.

Leaning back he loses his balance and falls from the scaffold to the ground, hitting supporting poles on the way. The man not only survived the fall but escaped without serious injury. “The man got past security and climbed up the scaffolding. He then fell and luckily escaped serious injury," Inspector Koutsoufis of Surrey Hills police said.

“The man was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital by ambulance. He then discharged himself before attempting to gain entry back into the festival. This is a dangerous practice and this man was very lucky to survive, let alone escape serious injury.”
