An incident in Eastbourne which left a man fighting for his life will be featured in a BBC programme this month.

Close Calls: On Camera, presented by Nick Knowles, is a series which shows the split-second moments when everyday events are transformed into disasters and meets the people who lived to tell the tale.

The programme airs every morning at 11.45am on BBC One.

In an episode to be shown on Friday (May 25) the programme features what happened when an experienced base jumper’s parachute got tangled up when he leapt off Beachy Head.
