PICTURES: Four death defying-looking images of divers hurtling off north coast cliffs in Northern Ireland

It’s enough to strike terror into anyone – but these divers seem to take it all in their stride.

Pictured here are athletes from round one of the Red Bull Cliff Diving Event last night.

It got underway near Dunluce Castle on the causeway coast on Thursday evening.

It is described as requiring the athletes to “execute incredible acrobatics from heights of more than 20 metres [66 ft] in the ultimate display of focus and skill”.

The event continues, with the finals slated for about 7.30pm on Saturday.
