In the clip, the man was wearing a harness that saved his life, and managed to get back up on the line in Cleveland National Forest outside San Diego earlier this week.

The video is part of a new craze called "high lining" when daredevils try to balance themselves on a suspended length of flat webbing set up at dizzying heights. They're attached by anchors that are drilled into the rocks.

"We try and make sure we are as safe as possible," he told Inside Edition. "This [cable] can hold 7,000 pounds, it's amazingly strong."
