A police car's dascham recorded this video of a Michigan State Trooper going over a railing above pavement 35 feet below as he leaped to apprehend a police chase suspect.

WNEM News reports that police had attempted to pull over a 41-year-old man in Saginaw County, but the man refused to stop and the police gave chase. Police later figured out that the guy was on a tether from alcohol-related charges in another county.

The cops stopped the guy's car with spike strips, but the driver got out of the car and started to climb the guardrail. That's when the trooper jumped after him, and that's when the two went over the edge, landing on pavement 35 feet down.
