Daredevil British Troop Films Frightening Canyon Crossing
A British soldier has used headcam footage to film a daring crossing of a canyon.
The member of 24 Commando Engineers tested his balance on the narrow beam while training in California.
He makes his way across the steep drop towards his colleagues at the other side of the canyon without pausing to look down.
It's unclear if a safety harness was used.
The British Army posted the video on their Facebook page with the headline ‘Don’t look down’.
The Engineer Regiment, which supports 3 Commando Brigade Royal Marines, are in the United States training alongside Royal Marines and US troops.
Each member of the regiment, which is based in North Devon, must be trained in amphibious assaults, as well as know how to operate in the jungle, across deserts, over mountainous terrain and under arctic conditions.
