Rocky Taylor survives death-defying jump at Battersea Power Station

64-year-old thrillseeker Rocky Taylor, who's played James Bond's stunt double, has jumped off a building all of 40 feet at Battersea Power Station and survived.

He did the same jump that almost killed him the last time he did it in 1985. He fractured his spine and pelvis that time - but he insisted he had to have another go to get it out of his system.

The last time an explosion at the old Lambeth Hospital sent him falling to the ground in flames. He totally missed the cardboard placed to break his fall and landed on concrete. It was on the set of Michael Winner's Death Wish in 1985.

But this time, he landed on the cardboard.

And there he is on Sky News speaking about his jump and showing he's lived to tell the tale.

The Daily Mail quoted him as saying beforehand: "It makes my stomach churn thinking about what happened the last time I did it.

"But it will do me good to get it out of my system. "I remember the pain and the smell of smoke... I was incredibly lucky that day.

"I still have a nut and a bolt inside me from the operation and still suffer internal problems because of the injuries I sustained."

The jump put him out of work for six years. As well as playing James Bond's stunt man for Roger Moore and Sean Connery, Rocky has also been in Titanic and Batman.
