After being wished “good luck”, he then waits a few seconds before sprinting towards the edge and jumping off the 350-foot cliff.

The man can be seen landing on the shore less than 20 seconds later during the stunt on Friday afternoon.

Passerby Daniel Stringer says the daredevil had "balls of steel".

He said: "I was on a walk as the weather was nice, and then the bloke came over and said what he was going to do and if we wanted to watch.

"I thought it was amazing. What a cool thing to do.”
