Available for over a year

A PhD student who fell from the top of cliffs at Old Harry Rocks says he's lucky to be alive. Alex Tridico was visiting Dorset with friends over the Bank Holiday weekend when he slipped, falling around 30 metres (100 feet) into the sea below. He says he's an experienced hiker and still doesn't understand how the accident happened. He spoke to BBC Radio Solent's Steve Harris.
