almost a darwin award

Posted by mike Apr. 17, 2008 @ 10:52 AM EDT

jesus fuck, I mean, seriously:

.

My thought process: "wow, that's high up. hey... hey, what are you doing?! no... NO! DON'T DO THAT OH GOD NO"

Maybe the one guy has a parachute in his backpack, but I doubt it.

Apr. 17, 2008 | 10:59 AM OneWhoListens says:

God...PLEASE tell me that's just a really great video edit...he actually hung by his hands, the great idiot.

Apr. 17, 2008 | 11:18 AM ProjeX says:

You better have some crazy biceps if ur gona do that.

Apr. 17, 2008 | 11:27 AM SBB says:

Why.

Apr. 17, 2008 | 11:49 AM Yale says:

I wonder where they are at? But either way this guy is pretty crazy, why would you even think of doing that.

Apr. 17, 2008 | 11:59 AM souled says:

According to the comments of the video it's in Paris...

Apr. 17, 2008 | 1:46 PM Magical-Mark says:

Souled is correct it looks (and sounds) like it is in Paris.

He cannot be wearing a parachute because when he gets up he is not wearing anything on his back.
I have seen a lot of video edits and I do not think that this is one of them but it might be...

Why is your Youtube box gold?

Apr. 18, 2008 | 5:03 AM mike responds:

You can set it in the embed options over at youtube

Apr. 17, 2008 | 2:33 PM BoMToons says:

Is that dan paladin?

Apr. 18, 2008 | 5:04 AM mike responds:

Haha, apparently he spends his time hanging off construction equipment in Paris :O

Apr. 17, 2008 | 3:38 PM MrMacro says:

That would be scary!

Apr. 17, 2008 | 4:22 PM ZiggyZack99 says:

wow, i know how 2 fAKE TAT

Apr. 17, 2008 | 4:47 PM GuyWithHisComp says:

I would've fallen down if it was me...

Apr. 17, 2008 | 4:51 PM WoodyForrest says:

They look awfully relaxed. Well, when jacuzzi's and alcohol stop doin' it for you, where else do you turn?

Apr. 17, 2008 | 6:58 PM Jestercap13 says:

oh wow what morons

Apr. 17, 2008 | 8:34 PM mongoid says:

Dude, just watching that on video gives me the heebie-jeebies. It feels like my balls are getting sucked into my abdomen.

Ughh! D-:

Apr. 17, 2008 | 8:55 PM Sterance says:

every day darwin gets proved more right... almost in this case (as you said)

Apr. 17, 2008 | 9:14 PM Nintechno says:

nice. I CAN believe someone would do that, just think of what the people on "Jackass" do, I would rather hang off a crane than do some of the shit THEY do!

Apr. 18, 2008 | 12:55 AM MalcomFrost says:

It's people like that who deserve to plummet to their deaths. I'd have given him the Darwin just for doing that. Well, at least the Paris PD didn't have to scrape his ass off the street with a spatula.

Apr. 18, 2008 | 1:07 AM Warrickneff says:

I bet Eye-Love-Poozy would get a kick out of this.

Apr. 18, 2008 | 2:02 AM The-Red-Jack says:

I liked the song LOL

Apr. 18, 2008 | 2:18 AM WritersBlock says:

There was a trampoline at the bottom.
lol
Thank you for sharing this video, especially since I have to go to an OH&S seminar next week.

Apr. 18, 2008 | 3:47 AM BMack24 says:

holy dear sweet baby jesus christ on a pogo stick i could never do that. my palms were sweating the whole time watching this. seriously, holy crap.

Apr. 18, 2008 | 7:09 AM Xurch says:

Ha I remember seeing this.
If I was that confident with pull ups I would probably attempt it as well.
But I probably wouldnt have enough strength to pull myself backup and I would probably get blown away. Or the sweat would be enough to let me slip.

Apr. 18, 2008 | 5:46 PM AwesomeX says:

Holy Fuck!

Apr. 19, 2008 | 5:35 AM ghyfty says:

kinda hurts you a little bit right :P

Apr. 19, 2008 | 6:56 AM TheD-LucksEdition says:

Sweet fuckin' Jesus.

Apr. 19, 2008 | 12:29 PM Hammi says:

Goddamn it. That dumbshit. Didnt even tie any rope. Wasnt even wearing any backpack with parachute by any possible means. I wouldnt be surprised if they were all arrested afterwards.

Apr. 19, 2008 | 5:40 PM Wreckages says:

wow, my thought process was similar to yours, i was sure he was going to fall off.

that was scary to watch

Apr. 20, 2008 | 1:31 PM JoxskornerStudios01 says:

there fucked if they slip up even a little bit.

Apr. 20, 2008 | 1:31 PM JoxskornerStudios01 says:

especially from that hight.

Apr. 21, 2008 | 2:30 AM adam2510 says:

holy shit they are crazy

Apr. 22, 2008 | 8:31 PM ETAG says:

maybe they don't have anything to live fore

Apr. 23, 2008 | 4:20 PM FBIpolux says:

Oh god not that video again. It gives me chills :(

Apr. 23, 2008 | 7:14 PM EyeLovePoozy says:

That's awesome Mike.

But I gotta tell you. That doesn't seem so high. I'm a tower crane operator and I gotta say that's not more than 400 feet up. The tallest crane I've run was just shy of 1000 feet and I walked out to the end of the jib once a week while doing my inspections.

Granted I never did chinups off one of the lacings but I do have to sit down or kneel and stick my head and shoulders out of the bottom.

If you like photos of and taken from tower cranes check out this link.

That's an album I made from my last job.

Apr. 23, 2008 | 7:31 PM MinusNick says:

Just watching that made me feel all shaky inside. These guys are nuts.

Apr. 23, 2008 | 7:58 PM fede1920 says:

OMG !!! That's INSEANE !!!

those guys have really big Cojones !!!

Apr. 24, 2008 | 12:19 AM Luis says:

i had a dream about that once

Apr. 24, 2008 | 1:36 PM RAYMIEURCUYO says:

Holy F***n Hell!!! DUDE WTF!?!?!?!?!

Apr. 24, 2008 | 2:12 PM Maxxor says:

Wow. He got balls.

Apr. 27, 2008 | 6:23 PM splatbert says:

OMFG

Apr. 28, 2008 | 12:10 AM Yoshio says:

lol I'm afraid of heights

Apr. 28, 2008 | 8:06 PM Pizzaz9 says:

Crazy French bastards! xD

Apr. 29, 2008 | 3:02 PM DEATHIX22 says:

HOLY SHIT! SINCE IM 8 TIME TO SHOW THIS TO MY PARENTS. AWESOME!

May. 4, 2008 | 8:02 PM Ansel says:

that's extremely high up. that's one bigass crane, fo sho... i wonder what it was even being used for, to be up that high.

oh right, and that was intense. I expected him to fall... that's the kind of thing people on youtube tend to enjoy watching.

May. 4, 2008 | 10:33 PM SonicPsycho says:

I would have shat my pants 12 different ways if I were up there.

May. 5, 2008 | 11:39 PM BadPun says:

I had the same thought process as you.

May. 6, 2008 | 8:55 PM goldstar1516 says:

that to big

May. 9, 2008 | 1:37 PM fohn-jarmery says:

Exactly 20 seconds after the it stopped filming, that idiot fell off by mistake whilst celebrating his own blatant stupidity.

May. 9, 2008 | 3:58 PM Legionnaire-X says:

Watching this made me want to throw up. They are playing such a risky game >__>

May. 10, 2008 | 8:12 AM WolfBlitz2 says:

he was carrying a bag earlier on his back but then after a while he appears that he doesn't
that is nearly like playing russian roulette
hell he must have a fair bit of strength in his arms
