New photo Thrill seeker's safety harness 'SNAPS' 500ft above the ground in China

A thriller seeker got the fright of his life when his safety harness came loose hundreds of feet above the ground at an extreme attraction in China.

The male tourist was leaping on a series of planks at some 500 feet above the ground when the safety rope suddenly became unlatched from his back.

A video of the incident has become trending in China, and authority said the incident was caused by park workers who had not operated the facility properly.

The terrifying footage was filmed at the Wansheng Ordovician, a theme park in China's Chongqing city which is renowned for its extreme activities.

The incident occurred on October 1, the first day of the week-long National Day Holiday in China when millions of people started their family vacations.

The tourist was enjoying an attraction called 'Extreme Leaps' or 'Ji Xian Fei Yue' in Chinese.

The Propaganda Bureau of Wansheng Economic Development Zone, which manages the publicity of the area, had previously told Chinese media that the video was a 'marketing stunt'. 

But the response drew waves of criticism from the public, who accused the authority of evading responsibility. 

In an updated statement yesterday, the Bureau said that an investigation showed the incident had been caused by the mishandling of the park's workers. 

The Bureau has ordered the theme park to shut the attraction and another similar attraction, according to the statement on its official social media account.

The theme park also has a glass bridge which is built on the side of a cliff face at 390ft high

'Extreme Leaps' is one of the most popular attractions at Wansheng Ordovician.

Suspended 150 metres (492 feet) above the ground, it consists of six planks placed on a metal frame over a cliff.

There is a gap between each two planks and tourists must hop from one plank to another to reach the other side. The gap between the planks comes in different widths, and the widest one is 1.5 metres (five feet).

There is no safety net underneath the dangerous 'bridge'. Participants are attached to the safety wires above them by a rope. 

MailOnline has contacted Wansheng Ordovician theme park for comments, and is awaiting a reply. 

Another popular attraction in the park is a giant swing that rock at 1,000 feet high over a cliff

The park's cliff-side swings have been a star attraction for the park since they opened last year

Wansheng Ordovician theme park boasts a number of other extreme activities and facilities. 

Last year, it unveiled a transparent walkway which extends more than 80 metres (262 feet) from a cliff face above a vertigo-inducing 120-metre (390-foot) drop.

There is also a giant swing with 60ft long ropes, which is installed on the edge of a cliff at a whopping 300 metres (1,000 feet) high.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
