The heart-stopping footage shows American professional jumper Heath Odway and his friend plunge off the spot where James Bond fled from bad guys in The Spy Who Loved Me. The 1977 classic, featuring Roger Moore, included the iconic moment the 007 star skied off the same cliff in Lauterbrunnen before his Union Jack parachute opened. Following the star's lead, Ordway freefalls for several breathtaking seconds before his parachute opens to break the drop. But the thrillseeker unexpectedly loses control and starts to spin as he comes down. He eventually comes to rest in a canopy of a trees where he is left hanging 20 feet in the air. Not quite the smooth-landing expected of a special agent, but pretty brave all the same.
