Police say that a death-defying "bomb" from Wellington's floating crane could have ended with serious injury or worse.

The video of an unidentified person was posted by Facebook group "Perth NZ bombing".

Inspector Dave Rose said if the person – thought to be male – was identified, police would probably talk to him and warn him he was likely trespassing and was certainly placing himself in danger.

He estimated the jump would have been from a height of 30 to 40 metres.

 

The 49m-long crane, Hikitia, first arrived in Wellington on December 21, 1926 after a delivery voyage of 82 days from Scotland.
