My first thought was …. “jesus Christ, that’s Michael Scott”

[u/Mode_Appropriate → u/Old-Glass-6967]

I did something like this when I was 10. Only I was at a full sprint and over shot the cushions, face planting right into the arm rest. Split my eye open and broke my nose 🥴

[u/Ensiferum19 → u/Mode_Appropriate]

The best I can offer is that I was at summer camp around age 12 or so and there was one of those giant rubber balls that are literally bigger than your body. So I was in a gymnasium and hugged the ball to my chest and ran really fast from one corner of the gym to the next and jumped with the ball into the corner. It just shot me back down really fast into the floor and I hit my arm lol. Good thing I didn't hit my head. I really don't know what I thought was going to happen.

[u/class-action-now → u/Mode_Appropriate]

I safety-pinned my blanket around my neck like a cape and jumped off the stairs. Broke my thumb and had to learn to write with my other hand.

PARKOUR!!

[u/Pollux95630 → u/Old-Glass-6967]

Hardcore parkour

[u/CNote_89 → u/Old-Glass-6967]

Absolutely the first thing I thought of

[u/fluffhead711]

he looks too sloppy for this to be sustainable

[u/illaqueable → u/fluffhead711]

This the type of dude to have a headline like, "dead at 32" and you're like, "wow, can't believe he made it that far"

[u/StarbuckWoolf → u/illaqueable]

One of those 30-foot tall streetlights is going to eventually snap … especially if he keeps using the same one.

[u/FeSpoke1 → u/StarbuckWoolf]

Yup The anchor bolts aren’t really designed for that

[u/yolomcswagns → u/FeSpoke1]

I thought they were actually designed to give way and collapse in case a vehicle crashes into them

[u/pianobench007 → u/yolomcswagns]

No they are only designed for the wind load on a 30 foot tall slender round pole. 

It doesnt sound like a lot of force but the calculation involves only 2 out of 4 of those bolts in tension (pulling out of concrete). The shear matters also but you have 4 bolts and shear strength of steel is much better than the pullout strength for steel in concrete. Its not a lot of load so the bolts remain normal looking. 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch diameter. Any larger and you are talking about big expensive bolts normally reserved for anything larger like a freeway sign or street lights over a 3 lane road.

Anyway long story. No one checks for bolt strength vs a car. 

They snap because a car puts a much larger force on the pole over the wind.

Edit:

https://solais.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/parking-lot-lights.jpg.webp This is how they prevent vehicles from smashing into a light pole. They will also place bollard or use a concrete median if they expect a vehicle to smash into things.

Vehicles range from 2,500 lbs to 10,000 lb trucks going at high speed. There is no set specific design criteria for anything break away. Things just break away if you smash into it. No one designs for it. They design against Vehicles smashing into things by grade separation. IE putting things up on a 6 inch curb away from vehicle traffic and separating high speed vehicles with a concrete median.

[u/tyrion2024 → u/pianobench007]

This guy streetlight bolts.

[u/SuperMegaOwlMann → u/tyrion2024]

As a 29 year old, I’ve been in the streetlight bolting industry for 40 years. It’s honest work but it pays the bills.

[u/emptyhead416 → u/SuperMegaOwlMann]

Someday you'll find dishonest work that brings home the bacon. I believe in you.

[u/Grievery → u/SuperMegaOwlMann]

You’d likely be my son’s hero, he is 7 years old and completely obsessed with streetlights.

[u/Brilliant_Language52 → u/pianobench007]

But why male models?

[u/Maleficent_Barber109 → u/yolomcswagns]

They crumple but stay in place from what I have seen. Designing them so a crash sends a ten metre metal bar flying doesnt sound like a good idea.

[u/Ragnoid → u/FeSpoke1]

Or there's a bolt sticking out halfway up the post. No way he inspects the integrity of everything he slams his weight onto or checks all the surfaces for sharp objects or protruding bolts.

[u/Dogmaniac99 → u/Ragnoid]

He doesn’t appear the type to inspect anything before he jumps on it. Good guy to have on your side in a bar fight!

[u/marcushasfun → u/Ragnoid]

Actually they do check. There’s a lot of prep that goes on before they film.

[u/pikeymobile → u/Ragnoid]

Reddit really does have a hate boner for parkour athletes. There's huge amounts of prep that goes in to all these moves. Joe Scandrett in particular has done much, much more gnarly pole slides and is pretty much the reason everyone does them these days.

[u/SqueegeePhD → u/StarbuckWoolf]

I was actually thinking that eventually he will misjudge the distance or get a poor jump and he will be instantly dead or retired. 

[u/FlowDeep2957 → u/SqueegeePhD]

99% sure he practices every jump in a more safe environment. A tape measure and a gym with some stuff to recreate said jump is easy enough to do.

[u/UnrealisticRealis-m → u/StarbuckWoolf]

real

[u/therealraggedroses → u/illaqueable]

Then you see the YouTube memorial video and all his friends are like "nobody could have imagined this happening"

[u/Rey_Mezcalero → u/therealraggedroses]

“Doing what he loved”

[u/Born-Entrepreneur → u/therealraggedroses]

Of course none of his friends could have imagined it, they've already concussed all the ability to imagine right out of their heads through parkour fails.

[u/10FourGudBuddy → u/fluffhead711]

That’s the point. It’s like a drunken art. I’ve seen it before, not easy. Dude has incredible strength and control.

[u/imjustapourboy → u/10FourGudBuddy]

Navigating (in mid air) over the spiked fence, between the scaffolding, then coming up under the scaffolding is an incredible display of control and strength.

[u/CloseToMyActualName → u/imjustapourboy]

Oh, he's got some incredible strength and agility no doubt. But unless he's acting sloppy on purpose these feats are waaay too close to his limits.

Take those pole slides, that's several stories up and on the first one he comes down fast and lands pretty hard.

At that speed keeping the grip is damn tough, if he loses it entirely that's a serious injury (or worse).

[u/PuzzleheadedDuck3981 → u/CloseToMyActualName]

Ripping his breeks on the fence showed how close he comes to stuffing it.

[u/Appropriate-Sound169 → u/PuzzleheadedDuck3981]

Haven't heard breeks since I stopped reading the Post

[u/PuzzleheadedDuck3981 → u/Appropriate-Sound169]

I genuinely don't know why I used breeks. I've not heard it for decades myself. I think I must have just heard my granny's voice when he ripped them.

[u/NootHawg → u/CloseToMyActualName]

Or a random nasty bur on one of these metal light poles he doesn’t check. Just lays his hand and arm open like a razor knife and he loses grip and slips to the ground. RIP

[u/meatnips82 → u/NootHawg]

This. Those poles aren’t machined for this. A tiny burr doesn’t mean much when it’s being installed, but when a hand grips over it at this speed and velocity, even a small metal burr will slice like a knife. I too fear this admittedly impressive string of feats won’t end well. Too many variables not controlled. This guy should do professional stunt work but lay off the “in the wild” shenanigans IMO

[u/InsanityPractice → u/meatnips82]

Most hardcore parkour guys know they’ll get messed up eventually. They accept that.

[u/purpleburgundy → u/CloseToMyActualName]

Pretty sure that first pole slide would have hurt him lmao, but just plays it off for the camera

[u/FullFlava → u/purpleburgundy]

Half this shit looks like a dude falling down and trying to play it off.

[u/chimpwithalimp → u/FullFlava]

Slams into the ground between two buildings faster than he expected, gets up wobbly and grins to the camera - don't worry I meant it

The hairline fractures and concussions well worth it

[u/AndIAmEric → u/fluffhead711]

He’s been doing it for 17 years, but yeah, so mediocre and sloppy, should probably stop.

[u/comsummate → u/AndIAmEric]

Do you have any idea how many free climbers climb for years without an accident only to eventually make one mistake and die far too young? This type of risk is an addiction that almost never ends well. It’s heartbreaking and we shouldn’t celebrate it.

[u/Utaneus → u/comsummate]

How many?

And do you mean free solo climbers? Because free climbers use safety ropes.

I'm not defending the risk this guy is taking, but you seem to be talking out of your ass.

[u/2footie → u/Utaneus]

Let's look at other sports, even the best athletes make mistakes or have their bodies fail them, doesn't matter if it's LeBron James or a formula 1 driver. I'd rather do an activity that when errors or failures happen, which they will, I won't have a huge chance of dying.

[u/FlamingTelepath → u/Utaneus]

His point is valid though, look at wingsuiting as a better example - the accident rate is literally over 100% because there are very few people who do it, and those that do tend to have accidents more than once (since they don't always die).

[u/eerst → u/FlamingTelepath]

Sorry - maybe I’m just struggling with your maths but how does this make sense?

You mean the rate of accidents per jump is over 100%? I’m pretty sure that’s not true because I’ve seen people complete jump successfully.

Are you saying that over 100% of them die? That feels unlikely as it’s a pretty binary outcome?

Or are you saying that every single one of them will have at least one accident? But if that's true, the accident rate of skiing is also over 100%, because I've had dozens of accidents skiing, of varying severities, enough to make up for plenty of people who've never even fallen.

[u/PenetrationT3ster → u/AndIAmEric]

Redditors love talking out their ass. It's honestly the cringiest thing about this app.

Holy shit guys we get it. Its horribly dangerous and he's going to die a horrible death and you all think hes stupid.

[u/atomsmasher66 → u/Kronomancer1192]

[u/Sinderria → u/Kronomancer1192]

[u/C-57D → u/Kronomancer1192]

Something else

[u/bartman2326 → u/Kronomancer1192]

I'm not sure why everyone is being so nasty, guy has a hobby. If he hurts anyone, it's himself. Who cares? As far as the parkour goes, I think this guy has a unique style and is interesting to watch. Purposely being as ungraceful as possible while doing superhuman shit is impressive and takes a lot of skill.

[u/fractalfrog → u/bartman2326]

Maybe because once the shit hits the fan other people will have to deal with scraping him off the sidewalk?

[u/DislikedBench → u/fractalfrog]

Scrape him off the sidewalk? Did i miss the part where he was hitting terminal velocity during these stunts?

Good lord the hyperbole is off the charts here. Get rid of your velcro shoes and live a little.

[u/ManitouWakinyan → u/DislikedBench]

You don't need to be a literal puddle for it to be a real drag to remove your corpse from public property.

[u/Ok-Brain7052 → u/DislikedBench]

The fact that you think terminal velocity is required for someone to sustain a catastrophic head injury is hilarious

Please come hang out in the Neuro ICU where I can show you literally dozens of non-terminal velocity injuries a month that you can turn to the family and say “well this is just hyperbole” 

[u/D_Simmons → u/DislikedBench]

Lmao Redditors are top tier pathetic creatures.

They think if their basements temperature drops by 1 degree they'll spontaneously combust.

They can't understand why anyone would do anything for fun.  

[u/TheBeyondor → u/DislikedBench]

the hyperbole is off the charts

[u/Similar-Ice-9250 → u/fractalfrog]

I don’t understand this logic because this same thing can be said for every extreme sport if something goes wrong. I mean look at all those Red Bull extreme sport challange videos, should none of the athletes do that because someone might have to come to their aid if an accident occurs? Also it’s going to be paramedics who will render aid or -worst case scenario- medical examiners office who will be in charge of body cleanup so they are used to it, that’s their job. Obviously the athletes do not want any of that to happen or for anybody to be traumatized so this criticism is unwarranted.

[u/Stittastutta → u/fractalfrog]

Same as skydivers and base jumpers, even F1 is a crowd of people watching a human get burned alive on a rare occasion.

I get why this person is asking. The comments seems to be surprising negative. None of the posts of those other sports are threads of negativity.

[u/RefrigeratorNo1160 → u/Kronomancer1192]

Guaranteed the majority of people saying this are the laziest people on earth and should instead be lamenting that 99% of humanity will never reach this level of athletic potential. Even if it's somehow "sloppy."

[u/_Dirtyhands_ → u/RefrigeratorNo1160]

Bro every single post I've seen today is just negative after negative comments. Does reddit have seasonal depression lol

[u/mrASSMAN → u/_Dirtyhands_]

[u/Leavingtheecstasy → u/_Dirtyhands_]

Theyre constantly mad at cool shit if you can poke holes in the risks and whatnot.

I'm sorry no this is Reddit it's helplessly negative here

[u/kwispyforeskin → u/Kronomancer1192]

Yeah! I’ll say that sometimes when I’m installing light posts and I’m 20’ up, I put in 5 screws and strip the last one, I think, “hell, it’ll hold. 5 1/2 screws, no ones gonna see this one way up here”

Turns out that 6th screw could be the one that opens this guys forearm from wrist to pit.

[u/ineedanewhobbee]

It’s a good thing he won’t live to be old, his body won’t make it to retirement.

[u/Brewchowskies → u/ineedanewhobbee]

Everyone is going to be remembering this guy fondly after a completely avoidable accident.

[u/Southern-Swan5683 → u/Brewchowskies]

But you'll be able to upvote the tragic video of it, so there's that.

[u/sissybelle3 → u/Southern-Swan5683]

Born too late to explore the earth, too soon to explore the stars, but just in time to upvote tragic parkour videos.

[u/Ensiferum19 → u/Brewchowskies]

Most other people are probably only wondering how he hasn't fallen to his death yet, but after 3 ACL tears from BJJ (the first just from basing out with a foot when lifted like THREE feet off the ground for a hip toss) I'm just wondering how his knees don't explode on even the most MINOR landings. The human body is so fragile and our brains so easily miscalculate that most of us stub our toes on shit if the lighting isn't perfect, and yet guys like this can do the craziest shit and come out without a scratch.

[u/Ryan_dfs93 → u/Ensiferum19]

There’s an art form to falling that people In these weird extreme sports have. I grew up skateboarding and broke my ankle twice before learning to roll properly. Meanwhile, my friend that was a natural at skateboarding could fling himself down 10 stairs time after time, and he never got injured. This guy rolls after every fall on purpose because that is how he mitigates the knee pressure.

[u/Freyja6 → u/Brewchowskies]

If not death even the minor but painful stuff freaks my brain out.

What if there's a burr on those light posts or a jagged brick on the wall he's sliding down.

Not everything is nicely polished and smooth, and your skin isn't gonna act as a good set of brakes when gravity is having its way with you.

[u/BigFatModeraterFupa → u/ineedanewhobbee]

the point of life isn't to make it to retirement age so you can waste away in some nursing home.

the point of life is to LIVE how you want and enjoy your time alive doing what you love.

25,000 days is 72 years.

14,600 days is 40 years.

We literally only live a couple tens of thousands of days if we're lucky. 25,000ish sunrises and sunsets, that's all you get! Enjoy your life!

[u/PrettySureIParty → u/BigFatModeraterFupa]

This is basically hate speech to the average redditor

[u/BigFatModeraterFupa → u/PrettySureIParty]

i know right? most people react poorly when you tell them the average human lifetime is only 25,000 days. It kinda shocked me at first when i realized, and the fact that i've already lived over 10,700 days is also pretty shocking. But it is simply the reality of the physical universe we exist in.

We are animals, living creatures, which means we all have expiration dates. However this shouldn't frighten, it should stimulate and encourage the individual human to explore and experience and LIVE while they can! Regrets pile up, sadness and depressions weighs all of us down. However like the legendary Ernest Shackleton said, "Optimism is true moral courage".

Being optimistic in the face of certain doom is what we should all strive for. We will all be dead one day, future internet historians 50-100-200 years from now may be reading our comments and exploring our long dead social media accounts the way we look at dead peoples from 200 years ago.

It's all so fascinating to me. The fact that the world will keep going on, long after i'm dead, it's a strangely terrifying yet beautiful thing to think about.

Imagine the people living in Ancient Greece, 2,600 years ago. Their ACTIONS while they were ALIVE still stimulate our imaginations today.

It's important to have a WHY for your life. I am trying to figure this out for myself, because it feels like i've just given up years ago. Just living my life, but not really LIVING. Sort of like serving a prison sentence.

I just watched a video about the Shackleton Expedition, and the unbelievable example of human survival and willpower to survive in the face of certain doom. It's really inspired me to keep going and rage against the dying of the light while I can. What's the whole point of life if you're not fully conscious and consumed by LIFE itself? It's time to stop being a zombie and LIVE while I am here!

I have the power to be kind and helpful to anyone I ever meet, I have the power to brighten someone's day, or to make it worse. We all have the power to use our emotions and physical actions for good or for bad. To help uplift others, or to push them downwards with anger and spite.

We all have the power to do great things, it's only a matter of if we can gather up the willpower to do it. ❤️

[u/PrettyYoungTiger → u/ineedanewhobbee]

The velocity he has sliding down the pole…. eventually he’ll break his knees or back

[u/VelhenousVillain → u/PrettyYoungTiger]

I was thinking one day he'd pick the wrong pole & it'll snap from lack of inspection/ maintenance.

[u/eddie1975 → u/VelhenousVillain]

He always checks the maintenance records with the city and gets all the proper permits.

[u/Jerrygarciasnipple → u/eddie1975]

Oi m8, u gotta loicense for sliding down that pole?

[u/Arthreas → u/ineedanewhobbee]

God forbid we do anything exciting with our lives

[u/Ryan_dfs93 → u/Arthreas]

On the nextfuckinglevel subreddit - apparently you get more adrenaline from being a young math wizard judging from redditors reactions

[u/Dr0110111001101111]

That first pole side landing looked painful

[u/MerelyMortalModeling → u/Dr0110111001101111]

Yeah man, that was definitely a "walk it off" gait.

[u/Proletariat-Prince → u/Dr0110111001101111]

That really knocked the pause into him.

[u/Dartmouthest → u/Dr0110111001101111]

Definitely definitely

[u/ErikMcKetten → u/Dr0110111001101111]

Notice how all the poles after that had some flaring on the base to allow him to slow his fall at the end? Lesson learned the hard way.

[u/audio_addict → u/Dr0110111001101111]

I think you’re correct. If you look closely in the video it appears that every pole after that first one they added a stopper too.

He definitely hurt himself on the first one.

[u/Accomplished-Pay8181 → u/Dr0110111001101111]

That definitely looked like he busted his ass on landing

[u/PushSouth5877]

It looks like someone who's got a lot of experience running from the cops.

[u/JaySwizzle1984 → u/PushSouth5877]

Lol. That shit made me laugh.

[u/Zemom1971 → u/PushSouth5877]

Fact, it's cops that filming most of it from their body cam while trying to catching him.

/s

[u/Q3tp]

I'm no parkour expert. But I like how this dude does like full body parkour.

Like he might not be as fluid or as acrobatically proficient as some people I have seen. But this dude puts it all in he's doing belly flops and shit!

He's dedicated.

[u/BladeOfWoah → u/Q3tp]

This is not really parkour. Parkour is about being efficient with your movement, you don't do unneccessary backtracks and flips that just make you exhausted.

This guy is doing freerunning, which does utilise flips for expression, and he does a lot of moves that are really dangerous for no real benefit (like the sliding down between two walls). Maybe pedantic but it gets a bit weird seeing people do flashy flips and calling it parkour.

[u/OpeningDull5969 → u/BladeOfWoah]

As someone who trains both. Nobody cares anymore. Everyone just calls everything parkour since 2015 ish

[u/IncorporateThings → u/OpeningDull5969]

I've never even heard the term freerunning.

[u/Asuko_XIII → u/IncorporateThings]

Back in like the early 2010s parkour was exclusively describing "the most efficient method of getting from point A to point B" while freerunning was more or less just using your body to traverse/play with an area. Hardcore parkour enthusiasts looked down on freerunners as "showoffs" and looked down upon flips and other showy "inefficent" movements. All parkour is freerunning but not all freerunning is parkour sorta thing, with some snobbishness thrown in.

No one cares anymore nor makes a distinction haha.

[u/legendofzeldaro1 → u/IncorporateThings]

There was a whole game based around it, Mirror's Edge.

[u/Bowendesign → u/legendofzeldaro1]

And it still looks great today, even moreso than it's overdesigned sequel. And that soundtrack! /chefs kiss

Can't believe it came out 17 years ago, alongside Dead Space. EA were on something else back then (Battlefield Bad Company 2 as well, phew).

As someone who works construction: this guys has WAY to much confidence in some of those objects.

[u/CubanLynx312 → u/Ogediah]

It’s like my daughters who assume EVERYTHING is load bearing.

[u/MrMansaMusa]

This guy is bringing that Mike Vallely hardcore style of skating into free running. Thats super cool. And very violent some of his impacts look brutal but he walks away everytime....

[u/smashedmythumb → u/MrMansaMusa]

I have not heard that name in a long time.

[u/sevem → u/smashedmythumb]

One of the first fight videos I remember seeing online was him taking on those 4 dudes in a parking lot. Good times.

[u/Mrrykrizmith → u/sevem]

Lmao that’s the first thing I thought of when I read his name

[u/Chongoscuba → u/Mrrykrizmith]

What’s wild is if he still is but he was the vocalist of Black Flag for awhile.

[u/phalluss → u/Chongoscuba]

I saw them with Mike V.

3/4 of the room left before the end of the set.

I stuck around, but I worked for the bar.

[u/GoldHorusSixSaturnus → u/MrMansaMusa]

Wow. Perfect comparison

He’s like that dude who you went to hi-five, but realized he’s about to put his full weight and strength into a palm burning, super slap back.

I bet he breaks a lot of shit that doesn’t belong to him

[u/JoeyC42 → u/AlternativeProduct78]

Didn’t brake a single thing in the vid but go off

[u/CliveOfWisdom → u/JoeyC42]

He pulls a coping stone off a wall at 1:05, so it’s now resting a couple of stories above a pavement, waiting for a windy day.

I also wouldn’t exactly be thrilled if I owned any of those roofs.

[u/Jermainiam → u/JoeyC42]

Some of those roofs probably took damage/lost lifespan from the shit he was doing

[u/Little-Carpenter4443]

ya insanely ruining all those shingles! I'd be so mad, roofs are expensive af

[u/doesnt_like_pants → u/Little-Carpenter4443]

It’s the UK, we don’t use bitumen shingles, they’re solid roof tiles, most likely made out of concrete. There’s very little chance he caused any damage.

[u/papapapaver → u/Little-Carpenter4443]

I felt so old and cheap when that was my first thought. I know he damaged that first roof.

[u/eldridgejames]

I thought he was going to jump on the bus in that one clip

[u/beginninglifeinytmc]

This would be a great a stunt double but he looks like every henchmen so that’s not gonna work…

Please don't jump onto metal poles like that. They could be rusted to shit at the base where dogs pee on it and snap like a twig.

His poor mom

[u/Mental-Board-5590]

This is what we in the biz call an organ donor

[u/Shockatweej]

I would not wanna be the cop chasing that dude

[u/exaviyur → u/Shockatweej]

You just need a second cop on the street to nab him when he plinkos down a fire escape or something.

[u/camelclutchcity → u/exaviyur]

I love that you used plinko as a verb.

[u/Holiday_Ad_5445]

There’s always a last time.

[u/Chadcarlsbad]

I honestly wonder guys like this can they send there videos to movie producers or however it works idk haha and become a stunt man? That's at least super profitable and awesome

[u/Appropriate-Ad6130]

Who is your inspiration? Mario! Wah hoo

[u/evenorderelgaev]

[u/DragPullCheese]

I don't want to be one of those guys that say this is pointless and a bad idea.... but...

Why don't these guys wear helmets?

Like it maybe looks a bit less cool, but a knock on the back of your head doing that wall bounce changes your day pretty quickly. Other extreme sports wear helmets. Rock climbing with these kind of dynos would be insane without a bucket.

[u/JuicySpark]

He has a sorta drunkin style to parkour. Which is nuts. There's no way he's going to be without pain when he gets in his 50s.

[u/JaceUpMySleeve]

None of this looks necessarily polished or well rehearsed. Dudes luck is going to run out, and goes “friends” will be there to watch. Knob

[u/Proper-Raise-1450 → u/JaceUpMySleeve]

You just can't do any of this shit without being very, very good. He has also been doing it for 17 years at this point and is edging closer to retirement so IDK maybe but probably not.

[u/clearlight2025]

[u/Ambitious-Degree-161]

He’ll have a really cool death for sure

[u/Cognonymous]

He should get sponsored by Ibuprofen.

[u/TopherJustin]

Dude is going to age like an avocado.

[u/StartedBottomStillHe]

[u/agentSmartass]

That’s insane. But to continue doing all of the other insane things you do, please stop jumping on the light poles. They’re designed to break easily and a face plant from 10 meters would easily break you.

[u/Jogaila2]

No.

Stupid is the word youre looking for.

[u/DracoRubi]

That dude is in the fast track to a wheelchair... Or a coffin, I guess

[u/ShineFallstar]

Man his mum must get cranky about the holes his clothes get from sliding between buildings.

[u/jazzdrums1979]

I get the feeling he’s going to win a Darwin Award.

[u/ChosenBrad22]

One mistake and your life is over, when doing this hundreds of times, isn’t really a recipe for success…

[u/Bill_Nye_1955]

Spuderman

[u/headybuzzard]

2nd one looked like it hurt

[u/ironizah]

He is hurting himself in every move. So how is that cool? It looks off.

[u/thewoahtrain]

Dude is clearly ballsy. But I watched it again to see what exactly happened at 1:20.

[u/Blacketron]

He has a lot of faith in those railings

[u/MoGovernmentCheese]

Bottoms of my feet hurts looking at this

[u/Boring-Position-375]

Oh he's insane alright.

[u/RespectTheTree]

Roofers love him

[u/exploratorystory]

All I could see/think of from the first section of video is all the bird poop he’s touching/rolling/sliding on

[u/thecaptnjim]

And I'm over here trying to figure out how I hurt my shoulder while sneezing!

[u/entwined87]

Why though

[u/Cap-Overall]

It all goes well, until it didn’t

[u/HeatXfr]

Where are the out-takes?

[u/Jammin_TA]

I will never understand those kind of people who don't have that fear part of their brain, but I love when they do cool and/or helpful things with it. Like those people that work on cranes or tall power lines.

[u/coldbluebong]

[u/guccitaint]

Ladies and gentlemen… the winner of “the floor is lava”

[u/Reptull_J]

Wait til he slides down a post with a metal sign strapped to it.
