British parkour expert shocks bystanders as he performs dangerous running jump over a wall and jetty before plunging 25ft into the Rhine in Switzerland
A British parkour daredevil shocked bystanders as he pulled off a spectacular jump over a wall and jetty to plunge into a river in Switzerland.
Parkour expert Toby Segar was filmed performing the risky manoeuvre at a docking area on the Rhine in the city of Basel.
The athlete cleared a wall, a flight of stairs and a jetty from a height of around 25ft as stunned onlookers watched on in amazement.

The incredible footage was shared on Instagram by a professional parkour team today.
In the video Segar takes a long running jump, before using the concrete wall to propel himself forward.
He appears to fly over the concrete walkway beneath him, clearing a distance of what appears to be around 20ft.
He flips over to plummet feet-first into the cold waters below before resurfacing to swim to dry land.
One astonished onlooker can be heard saying in the background: ‘What the f***?’
Swimming is banned in the section of the Rhine that Segar chose to perform his stunt, and is used as an area for river boats to dock, according to the Basler Zeitung.
An acclaimed parkour athlete, Segar is from the town of Godalming in Surrey.
He took part in TV show Ninja Warrior UK four years ago and even made it to the final.
A showreel on his YouTube account shows Segar performing a number of nail-biting stunts on the roofs of buildings as well as clearing rows of cars and humans.
