Two daredevils were seen dicing with death as they dangled from a 50ft bridge in 60mph winds.
The youths were spotted hanging from railings and wires by just their hands this afternoon as heavy gusts of wind rocked the country.
The pair were dangled above the River Usk in Newport, South Wales from the City Footbridge above the water.
The bridge, which is used for pedestrians and cyclists, links the city's main shopping area with the Rodney Parade sports ground.
One onlooker said: "These idiots could easily have died. The wind was blowing really hard and could have made them lose their grip.
"They were obviously daring each other on without any concern for how dangerous it was.
The person added: "At first they climbed over the railings and then walked onto a metal beam, which was dangerous enough, but soon they were hanging off the edge.
"I'm just glad that eventually they climbed back over and were safe."
Much of the UK faced strong winds and heavy rain today following a yellow weather warning from the Met Office .
Trains were hit with delays due to the weather with festivals and events also being cancelled.
