An Australian base jumper has shared footage of the life-threatening moment he gets stuck in a tree.

"I'm hanging from a tree in a base jumping harness.

"Its just got windy…. if the tree breaks or my canopy breaks, I'm going to break my back and some legs."

He managed to avoid suspension trauma, where blood gets trapped, by taking turns to "release each leg and wiggle" his feet.

Allen is now trying to raise money for the rescuers who came to his aid.

The dare devil said he will be "back at it" within weeks.
