That’s an ‘oh crap’ moment I hope I never have.
I can’t even begin to imagine what was going thru his mind in those few seconds…
‘The strawberry was delicious.’
His feet.
People are saying that video is a fake, it was a video made as a joke and that his actual death wasn’t on video.
With these building-climbing daredevils always filming themselves, I’m surprised there are not more fails captured on video. I don’t seek them out, but this is the first one I have actually seen of someone falling.
I was going for ‘sidewalk’ - but I’ll give you 2 points for effort.
I clicked on the link thinking, ok, lemme see this moron get what he’s got coming.
Instead, I found it disturbing.
mmm
When Ueli Steck died this year on Everest, I was sad - but he was an incredibly talented climber doing what he loved, and for the ability to do what he could do I’d gladly have exchanged my own lifespan for his.
I did not have those feelings watching this video.
People always say that kind of thing. The distance he falls on camera isn’t enough to kill him so they could be right. Need more evidence.
He died doing what he loves. I hope to die that way too. Now to just figure out what I love…
Read somewhere that he “only” fell 45 feet, onto a terrace.
Me too. But I know what I love. And as long as the Doc keeps pushing those little blue pills, I got a good chance of going that way. Although it will be pretty crappy for the old lady.
You’ll be happy to know i read a study a while back that showed it was very rare for men to have a life-ending coronary whilst dancing sideways. 
A google translate? BTW, it’s literal and uses traditional long form Chinese characters just in case you were wondering.
Horrible, horrible video.
I mean, shot in vertical format with blurry borders, then replayed with a horizontal flip to make it look like different footage. Just awful.
To be honest, if no-one ever died from these stunts, they wouldn’t be that impressive, right? The risk of death is why people find them fascinating, and if there’s never any death, there isn’t any risk.
Too bad, but, Darwin.
I have vanishingly little sympathy when a jackass gets his ass jacked.
I checked. Seven and half seconds with a terminal velocity of no more than 110MPH.
One true tragedy here would be if any pedestrians on the street below were hit by his falling body. Or splattered by his bodily fluids. Or saw his splattened body on the ground.
Wu Yongning: There ain’t no fixing stupid.
