Firefighters rescued a man who became stuck on a zip line above a terrifying drop near a holiday spot popular with Brits.
Footage shows an officer climbing down rungs to reach a colleague standing on a wooden platform partway down the steep rock face.
The camera pans to reveal the man dangling from the middle of the zip line, some 70m above a reservoir.

One of the firefighters then ventured onto the zip line, apparently weighing it down, which allowed the stuck man to start sliding toward him.
The two met in mid-air, and the thrill-seeker could be seen patting the fireman on the leg, seemingly in thanks.
Using his arm strength, the officer then winched them both safely back to solid ground.
The rescue took place over the Presa de los Caballeros – or Knights’ Dam – in Montejaque, southern Spain, on Saturday (10 Jan).
Montejaque sits on the outskirts of Ronda, a destination popular with British holidaymakers, as reported by Need To Know.
The Málaga Provincial Fire Department confirmed the man was “successfully rescued without any injuries”.
One online commenter wrote: “You really have to be careful with zip lines and the equipment you use. I once got stuck on one because it wasn’t angled enough and you had to pull yourself along with your arms. If that happened to me now, I’d be completely stuck.”
Sergio added: “That zip line isn’t set up properly, and all of us who’ve done it know it.”
Another wrote: “Wow, the poor guy, hanging there with no knowledge of self-rescue and no strength to get out. At least he got to enjoy the view for a while.”
Maria gushed: “Bravo for the great work you do – hats off to those firefighters.”
