Meet Lucky Chance - the BASE jumper who cheated death in parachute mishap.

An Australian thrill-seeker got a close glimpse at why they call it the 'Death Swing' as a BASE jumping stunt gone awry nearly cost him his life.

The daredevil Down Under, who calls himself Lucky Chance, was filming his 100th jump atop Australia’s Blue Mountains.

The 26-year-old window cleaner from Sydney has been BASE jumping for the last four years.

The 'Death Swing,' situated at a top-secret location, propels a jumper on a 30-meter rope attached to a peak.

Ninemsn.com reported that jumpers use a harness to stay connected to the rope, and Mr Chance is the first jumper to actually let go.
