Daredevil Peter Kurer is lucky to be alive. The 19-year old, who reached worldwide attention after free-climbing the Golden Gate Bridge last year, narrowly avoided dropping 100 feet on to the rocks below after a cliff-edge stunt nearly went horribly wrong.
Poised to leap between two jagged rocky structures in Devils Lake State Park, Wisconsin, Kurer launched himself into the air from a standing position.
