BERLIN (Reuters) - A parachutist jumping from a 145-metre skyscraper escaped death when his chute failed to open properly but got snared on a crane next to the
building leaving him hanging, German police say.
"He got lucky after his initial misfortune," said a spokesman for police in the Bavarian capital Munich on Monday.
Fire services took an hour to rescue the 32-year-old Austrian extreme sports enthusiast after his base jump from the 35th floor left him hanging 45 metres up.
Police released the man, who is under investigation for making an illegal parachute jump, on bail of 450 euros (310 pounds).
