Heart-stopping moment as four men dangle over 130ft drop in viral boat video

Four men were dramatically rescued from a ski-boat precariously balanced over a 40-metre dam spillway in South Africa. After a mechanical failure left them stranded, emergency responders, including the NSRI, worked against strong winds and fast-flowing water. A crucial intervention by opening sluice gates prevented them from going over, allowing a daring rescue by throw line.
