A man who slipped at the top of a waterfall and plummeted down the rocky slope also wiped out other visitors.
Footage shows the man sliding rapidly and uncontrollably on his backside.
His cap was knocked off his head and a split second later he clattered into a woman lying on her back halfway down the slope, sending her tumbling downhill, too.

Two other people, including a woman standing at the bottom, were knocked off their feet as the pair reached the end on their backs.
The painful-looking scenes unfolded on Monday (17 August) at Baiyang Waterfall in Cixi, Zhejiang Province, China.
The man reportedly slipped while climbing at the top of the waterfall and was sent sliding down the steep, wet surface.
Dubbed a “human bowling ball” by netizens, the man had left the visitors below with no chance to get out of the way.
Witnesses said the man suffered numerous cuts and scrapes and was bleeding, while the visitors he hit were left shocked and suffered minor injuries.
The local Baiyang Village Committee subsequently confirmed the incident, as reported by Need To Know.
Despite attracting numerous visitors, the site is a “wild” scenic spot that has not been officially developed for tourism.
The committee said it would install safety warning signs at the site and step up patrols to remind visitors to take care.
