This is the shocking moment two 'idiotic' tourists were spotted dicing with death as they peered over the edge of a 120ft cliff.
The two men were spotted teetering on the edge of the chalk cliffs at Old Harry Rocks near Swanage, Dorset, after straying off the coastal path to walk out to the narrow ledges.
The scenes come just months after a 28-year-old man narrowly avoided death after he slipped and plunged 120ft off the cliff after reportedly getting too close to the edge while taking a selfie.
He was saved by landing in four feet of water, with rescuers saying it was a 'miracle' he survived.
In recent months, coastguards have warned about the dangers of people getting too close to the cliff edges.

Speaking about the latest photos taken at Old Harry Rocks, a Swanage coastguard spokesman said: 'It is really disappointing that someone has done this despite all the signs and warnings about the dangers there.
'The rocks here are very loose and crumbly - we have a real problem with erosion there because of footfall, so it is concerning seeing people get so close to the edge.
'If this behaviour continues we are going to see a serious injury or a death.
'I just don't
