London, Mar 31 : A man miraculously escaped death when he fell from the top of a 530ft cliff and landed on a narrow ledge.

The 46-year-old man slipped down a grass slope and went over the edge, luckily landing on a ledge, 80ft down the cliff face at Beachy Head, near Eastbourne, East Sussex

The man, who survived the fall, ended up with lacerations and possible spinal injuries, reports the Sun. A coastguard had to be lowered down to help him, before a helicopter airlifted him to hospital.

According to coastguards, the incident that had taken place on March 29, happened during high winds, making cliffs dangerous.
