This was the terrifying moment a paraglider who failed to launch came inches from falling off the side of a cliff in Morocco.<br /><br />Helmet-cam footage from January 26 shows the daredevil taking a run-up but the chute fails to deploy successfully forcing him to trip and only just stop himself from sliding off the cliff.<br /><br />They explained: "I have been paragliding for seven years and have over 1,000 hours flying time. <br /><br />"The cliff from top to bottom is about 2,500 feet high and from the cliff edge and for about 1,000 feet is almost vertical. <br /><br />"During the incident at first I thought I was going to fly away from the cliff with a badly damaged ankle but because I slipped on the rock and twisted my ankle. <br /><br />"Then I realized I was falling face forward and would not fly away from the cliff a moment of panic made me realize I was going to fall over the cliff. <br /><br />"As I started to slide on the ground with my body I was thinking just to try and grab something so I stop. <br /><br />"I came out of the incident with cuts and bruises across my body and a twisted ankle."
