A man hanging upside-down on a bridge in China was rescued Thursday morning by firefighters.

A truck hauling 30 tons of coal rolled over when it turned onto a bridge and the driver was thrown out. His leg was stuck under the truck, leaving him dangling from the bridge.

After three hours, firefighters lowered by a crane were able to rescue the man.

Jean-Yves Blondeau, a French designer, created a special suit with 34 wheels attached to shoot down the 60-degree slope of a mountainside in the Hunan Province of China.

He was able to make it down the curving mountain by rocking his body to turn and standing up to slow down.
