Sky News:

Strong winds left Saimaiti Aishan dramatically clinging on to the 15m-long steel wire in front of stunned onlookers in China's Hunan Province.

The wire was attached to two hot air balloons - which were affected by the wind force and direction.

After successfully walking across the wire at 30m in just five minutes, Saimaiti took on the 100m challenge.

But the balloons slowly fell down to the ground and Saimaiti Aishan failed the challenge.
