Worker left dangling six storeys above the sidewalk
A small railing was all that stood between this worker and almost certain death.
Dramatic video computer in China shows the man dangling by his leg, six storeys above the pavement after a mishap during a renovation job.
The man had reportedly been part of a crew working on remodeling a kitchen in a residential building in China’s Jiangsu province.
According to Chinese media, the accident occurred on Sunday morning local time. It left the man hanging upside down with his foot caught in a safety railing.
