Terrifying Moment A man plunges into a canyon when his “astronaut training chair” suddenly collapses while he is orbiting
- Shocking footage showed a man falling at the Cabrapata Viewpoint in Peru
- Surprisingly, the man survived the fall even though he was taken to the hospital
This is the terrifying moment a man fell into a canyon when his “astronaut training chair” suddenly collapsed as he was orbiting it.
The video begins with the man strapped to the seemingly safe chair on the side of a ravine at the Cabrapata Viewpoint in Ayacucho, Peru – but soon ends up betraying him to death.
At first, the person filming can be heard laughing and joking as the operator watches as he spins his cliff-top friend with panoramic views across Peru.
But as it continues to twist around, the chair’s structure begins to wobble and without warning it suddenly collapses over the edge of a cliff.
Background laughter soon turns to a panicked shriek as the man’s friend disappears from view.

Despite falling off the cliff, the man survives the fall and recovers after being taken to hospital
The camera cuts away as the man falls down the steep slope – as anxious onlookers fear for his life.
Fortunately, the man survived the fall, possibly due to the structure being strapped to protect his head, according to local media.
He was taken to hospital but is now said to be recovering.
The chair is an economical version of the modern Multi Axis Trainer that space agencies use to teach astronauts how to survive high-speed spins in weightless conditions.
The viewpoint on the cliff is popular with tourists for its stunning views.
The beauty spot’s extreme rides and trails popped up to take advantage of thrill-seeking tourists who expect theme park safety standards.
Officials are now cracking them all down over safety concerns and have locked them down pending safety checks.
The city of Ayacucho, located southeast of Lima, the capital of Peru, experienced noisy unrest a few months before this incident occurred.

In December, ten people were killed during clashes with the ouster of former President Pedro Castillo after he tried to illegally dissolve Congress to avoid an impeachment vote he feared losing.
He was voted out of office soon after and arrested for alleged “rebellion”. He denies the charges against him.
His arrest sparked a wave of anger towards the country’s political elite and Congress, which has been widely described as corrupt and self-interested, particularly in the poor mining regions of southern Peru where rising food and energy costs have hit the people hard.
The demonstrators tried to take control of the city’s airport, which was being defended by the Peruvian police and army, but ten were shot dead and several others injured.
