Insane and sad to the same time, all of this for just a view youtube clicks ... A lot of russian people doing this and every year you can hear someone died because of this. I have really no respect for this overall, the parents should control this a little bit more. Because in most cases they already know about this. Don't do roof climbing friends! ... It's NOT COOL!
My son said just the same a few min. ago. I don't think so. They do that because they love and have the "balls" to face danger like they do, and want to share their experiences with the rest of mortals. YT clicks come as extra bonus...
Guess then we can call them "roofers" lol We can add a new meaning entry to Internet Slang Dictionary
IMHO, they're extreme adrenaline junkies. But who knows...maybe they have some of that 'Mohawk' spirit in them. Interesting side story... Back when we were building skyscrapers, the Native Americans had little or no fear of heights. So, they did much of the high steel work here and all over the US. http://www.wnyc.org/story/192807-sky-walking-raising-steel-mohawk-ironworker-keeps-tradition-alive/ http://www.whitewolfpack.com/2012/09/the-mohawks-who-built-manhattan-photos.html http://gothamist.com/2013/03/18/14_nerve-wracking_photos_from_old_s.php#photo-1 and
I believe these acts have evolved from what is called freestyle running or more specifically "Parkour". An example:
falling several hundred feet to anywhere will get them what they dared to get eventually The fall won't kill you.... it's that sudden stop you get that does it
hmm I think this guys need some better thing to make, if not I believe that is better shot gun in own heads
Yeah, but falling from that chimney for example, will give one plenty of time to think about their error before the sudden stop.
