Statter911 points us to this video, where the man stands at the edge of a thin metal bar looking down. A firefighter slowly brings his leg up and kicks the man hard enough for him to lose his balance and fall safely to the airbag set up below.

It is unclear where this happened, but the man appears to have survived the fall.

Glenn Cate Glenn Cate Wednesday, January 16, 2013 6:02:46 PM The sad thing is in the US this firefighter would have been fired for doing that.
Adam Knight Adam Knight Wednesday, January 16, 2013 6:12:31 PM That was pretty close. It looked like he nearly missed the bag entirely.
