Thread: Dangerous and Crazy Trend in Russia - filming yourself risking it all

First video filmed in my native town. My friend who works in local police says there are several kids a year who fall from these masts (there are six of them here, they are 250 meters high each and totally abandoned. I wrote about them here several years ago). For police these kamikazes are really a pain in the ass.

About height fear. A man can get used to almost anything. I'm afraid of height generally. But when I was a student I had a side-job installing air-conditioners. First time I had to hang out of a window at some hight floor to install an outdoor unit I was afraid as hell. I was dropping wrenches and other tools down because my hands we shaking due to fear. But after a couple of months I was hanging from a window leaving only my heels inside (my partner was handing me to them, there wasn't any other support) at 20+ floor and making my job with an absolutely cold heart. I worked about 2 years at this job and after a year or so after I quit it the fear of height has returned. Now when I'm remembering some moments of that job and the things I did I'm starting shaking because of horror. But when I was doing it I was absolutely steady and calm.

Did you feel that it was safe? There are a few rather scary videos about it on youtube:
