Dutch honeymooner falls off 4,000ft cliff called the World's End as he steps back to take a photo of his bride - and SURVIVES

A Dutch man on his honeymoon escaped death after falling 4,000 feet off a cliff top - by landing on a tree top.
The unnamed 35-year-old was visiting the World's End mountain when he stepped back to take a picture of his bride, and plummeted off the edge.

He was rescued by Sri Lankan troops and is the first person in history ever to survive the fall.

Brigadier Jayanath Jayaweera, a spokesman for the Sri Lankan Army, said: 'He was extremely lucky because he fell on top of a tree about 130 feet from the top.

'He is the first person to survive a fall from World's End.'
