Video taken on a mobile phone shows how Erdinc was helping a man take off near the edge of a steep drop. But the 41-year-old got caught on a piece of rope as the rider and the instructor accompanying him on the jump lifted off the ground. In the clip, he could be seen being carried away in the air with his legs grazing treetops before falling into the void just moments later.
