"Please do not take the risk". 

SwanageCoastguard has reminded people of the importance of being careful around Old Harry Rocks. 

The reminder comes after a man was seen slipping near the edge of the cliff and falling to the ground.  

The video, captured by a kayaker, shows the man fall to the ground and nearly sliding off the edge into the sea, before cautiously walking back inland. 

A spokesperson for Swanage Coastguard said: “HM Coastguard teams, HM Coastguard helicopter, RNLI Lifeboats, Ambulance & Police all would have been tasked to this if it had gone horribly wrong.  

“PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE RISK, IT'S NOT WORTH IT.”
