A man escaped unscathed after BASE jumping off a Hume Highway bridge over Allens Creek in Douglas Park at the weekend.

He was spotted launching himself off Moolgun Creek Bridge, about 60 metres from the ground, on Saturday afternoon.

Within seconds a red, white and black parachute was seen floating to the ground.

The man reportedly disappeared quickly after landing.

BASE jumping is illegal in Australia so many jumpers go to Europe to practise their jumps and improve their skills.

Two Australians have died since August last year while base jumping overseas.
