AUBURN, Calif. – The Foresthill Bridge in Placer County is California’s highest bridge, rising 730 feet above the American River.
This is where first responders found a teenager dangling from a rope and hanging on for dear life Monday evening.
Placer County officials say they found out the 19-year-old got stuck as he was being filmed swinging from the underside of the bridge by his 17-year-old friend. His equipment failed, and he was left hanging approximately 30 feet from the base, officials said.

The lucky stuntman declined medical attention.
Both teens were cited for trespassing.
