It was a perilous scene for one window washer, who was ultimately rescued from his platform several floors above an Edmonton, Alberta office building Friday. A witness captured the uneasy video, as the platform hits the building four times in a span of several seconds.

The window washer falls from the scaffolding and is seen dangling by his fingers with vehicular traffic below, as his harness kept him from falling. The man was pulled, albeit delicately, from the dangerous situation as firefighters used a bucket truck to bring him to safety. He was not injured. #fuck_lucky
