The intensive shot reveals him slideslipping on a damp slope prior to a tree brakes his descent and claims his life.
“I recognized I couldn’t budge an inch and was moving faster and faster, that’s when it hit me – I must be plunging off a precipice,” he told CNN on Friday.
“When I collided with the tree, it felt like a hefty stone smashing down. I was simply thinking, ‘There’s no approach I’m snuffed out.’”

In a subsequent clip shared on the platform, Yang mentioned he had not endured severe damage in the fall, but obtained some bruising on his left leg.
“I guess I escaped mostly unscathed. Just a minor scrape on my left palm and a tiny cut on my thigh. Besides that, I was fine,” he told CNN.
Yang mentioned the occurrence had induced him to reflect more intently on the significance of life.
“Life is genuinely brief, so we need to treasure each day. I won’t permit this occasion to impede me. If anything, it’s propelling me to explore the universe even more,” he said.
