WHAT THE HELL?! Just left?

Dutch tourist Corne van der Eerden was on a nearby beach with his wife and witnessed the accident.

He told the BBC: "We heard a flapping sound and saw what we thought was a guy sky-diving or parachuting.

"He crashed into the wall - it looked to be about 60m high."

Mr van der Eerden said the parachute appeared stuck on the rocks, and he ran over to try to help.

He added, "I shouted out to him and he said he thought he had broken his leg. He said he had his mobile phone on him and was going to call his wife.

"I told him to be careful but he said he was going to hang on tight. Our boat arrived then, so my wife and I had to leave."

Mr van der Eerden later discovered the man had died.
