Yahoo! News - Crane saves man after parachute fails
Fire services took an hour to rescue the 32-year-old Austrian extreme sports enthusiast after his base jump from the 35th floor left him hanging 45 metres up.
Police released the man, who is under investigation for making an illegal parachute jump, on bail of 450 euros (310 pounds).
I'm all for the presuption of inoscence but the guy was hanging from a crain with a parachute on his back next to a building, how much "investigation" does that take?
