EXCLUSIVE: Shocking moment a tourist risks falling to his death by walking down a narrow ledge at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel as a terrified British tourist begs him to come down
- The dizzying incident occurred at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel on the night of July 1
This is the moment a daredevil tourist cheated death by sliding tens of feet off a ledge as terrified tourists looked on at a hotel in Ibiza.
The heart attack incident unfolded at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel on July 1, where an unidentified man climbed onto the precarious ledge whose height left onlookers gasping in disbelief.
The man’s fate teetered on the brink of death as he carefully maneuvered up the narrow ledge. A big fall onto the paved patio below meant that one wrong move, a momentary loss of balance, would have resulted in tragedy.
The scene was captured in its entirety by 19-year-old Charlie Brooke Walsh, a British dental nurse who felt compelled to share the shocking footage to discourage people from attempting similar stunts.
“I want to raise awareness for people who fall off balconies on holiday after taking substances or drinking,” Charlie told MailOnline.
‘I saw someone on top of a ledge in a hotel, thinking they had no hope of making it across, but luckily they did!
“Something needs to be put in place, as it happens to many young people who lose their lives for foolish decisions without sufficient security measures.”

The video clip shows the unidentified man’s daring and dangerous journey across the ledge, swinging unfazed through the air despite the chasm yawning below him just inches away.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks people take when under the influence or making impulsive decisions, and the Ibiza Rocks Hotel, known for its vibrant atmosphere and lively party scene, is now facing questions about the safety of its facilities.
Against all odds, he made it to the other side, eventually escaping what would undoubtedly have been a fatal fall.
Meanwhile, other tourists weren’t so lucky.
Just days after the unidentified man mocked death at the Ibiza Rocks hotel, a British tourist has died after throwing himself from a balcony in the Ibizan resort of San Antonio, in the latest tragedy to strike the tourist hotspot .
The first 999 call that came in indicated the man was lying on the floor below an apartment block near a British supermarket.
In recent months there have been several tragedies with tourists at the San Antonio festival (Sant Antoni de Portmany)
The 35-year-old man died at the scene in the early hours of this morning. The alarm was raised just after 3:15 am, but the emergency services that responded to the scene said that the man was already dead when they arrived.
Local authorities are investigating, and police sources said the man had been on a second-floor balcony when he fell over the edge.
Less than weeks earlier, 22-year-old British tourist and amateur footballer John McKenna died at the same resort after taking a plunge from a three-star hotel.
McKenna, who was from Carlisle in Cumbria, was also pronounced dead at the scene after desperate attempts by paramedics to save his life.
