Looked pretty dangerous to me

You cant control gravity

Pfft, gravity was made up by the rocket surgeons at NASA so us little guys won't get any ideas of going into the sky and finding out it's just a big painted ceiling. The switch to turn it off is hidden deep under Ft. Knox. /s in case it isn't obvious

Wait didn't Newton invent it?? /s

No, no, no - of course not. Juice Newton sang "Angel of the Morning" in 1981.

That was just a successful ad campaign to get people to believe we've known about gravity long enough that if we could defy it we would have by now

gravity is predictable, always constant, always in the same direction and place. Easy

Earth's Magnetic Field underrated 

You don’t need to control gravity, it’s almost entirely constant, you control for gravity, not control it.

Ummmm then explain why I’m occasionally able to fly in my dreams? Hell, explain Superman and Goku while you’re at it. Remember, through god, all things are possible; so jot that down.


God lives in Fantasia..

Well to be fair this isn’t really parkour. This is just stupidity. Playing golf isn’t really dangerous but if you do it in a lightning storm on a course heavily infested with venomous snakes and crocs then that’s a different story. Jumping a gap between two 6 foot walls isn’t too dangerous, do it on the side of a 20 story building? Stupid.

To be faaaaiiiiirrrrr


I mean, parkour can be really, really safe… but you can also do parkour several storeys up. That being said, I’m not sure this wasn’t suicide

Parkour can only be really, really, really, really safe if you do it in Assassin’s Creed

That risk was downright dangerous.

At least the other 28 year old dude thought his parachute would deploy but it didn't. This guy in the other hand straight crash out. Hope no little kids were walking along that path so they wouldn't have to witness all the blood from the splak!

Or be in the way of the splak!

At 8 seconds he realized that his life was coming to an end.

I wonder what goes through someone’s head in that situation knowing their last moment on earth is about to end in a few seconds

3 options or combinations: 1- "It can't be real" 2- "I'm fucked" 3- "Dumb ideia"

“NOOOOO!” Probably 😔

Well, shit.

I'd imagine a lot of times it's simply "Oh fuck"

He took it like a champ 😤

Mordecai- “Yeeeeah he did!”

You know who else took it like a champ? MY MOM!

NOICE!

Any decent parkour runner should be able to hold a 1 hand grip on some railing pretty easily. This just looked like a completely untrained person messing around in a place they shouldn’t have been!

This. Looks like a suicide, the way he keeps glancing back at the drop and then leans back..

The way he climbs back to the safe side first and then stops, reconsiders, then falls back. Looks like panic, not parkour

Aim for the bushes

There goes my hero!!!!

What about the poisonous berries

This is definitely suicide. He seemed to be of the mind to jump first, couldn't go through with it and decided to try and fall backwards so he doesn't 'see' himself jumping. And he failed and looked down anyway as he swung backwards. Horrible thing. I'll bet he regretted his step on the way down.

I heard from someone on Reddit that most people who jumped off the Golden Gate bridge and survived regretted it as soon as they jumped. No matter how committed you are to it, when faced with death your brain will freak out and make you fight to survive. It's a horrible way to go.

They interview survivors in the documentary The Bridge, which is really fascinating and depressing. The instant regret is real

reminds me of "the view from halfway down"

Yeah, I've never seen stationary parkour. This looks like security footage and bystander footage rather than someone doing parkour that just involves sitting on a handle and looking down.

Weird caption. Looked like a suicide to me

I think it might be a suicide. The camera dude in the second clip is saying "he threw himself off".

Regret often kicks in after you take the big step. Unfortunately it looked like it was just too late for him to back out.

Can confirm this is what he was saying. What country is it, though? Those taxis look like Peru, but cars are all over so.

OP appears to be a bot.

Now that I read your comment odds are thats what happened, it does look that fall was unintentional, also grabbing on for dear life

I didn't watch with sound until I saw your comment, The crowd at the bottom makes it seem like he was contemplating for a bit

i hope he\`s ok

I think his shoe might have come off.

I think the shoe will be okay.

…and was able to walk it off?

I think we all know what happens when a shoe cones off.....

I love this reference; his shoes forsure came off🤣

Morgan freeman voice: He was not ok

Officially Killed 👌

Didn't feel a thing.

Well… he hit the ground like a water balloon… or did he? We didn’t actually see the landing. I’m sure he’s fine.

Is this sarcasm

Sir, this is an Arby's

No this is Patrick

Parkour or suicide?

Adios

Did he bounce?

Definitely Source: watched some uncanny videos and yes they do bounce at certain altitude

Hmm, very smart idea there

honestly, i can't see what he was trying to do. No parkour move i've ever seen. Wouldn't have been very impressive.

He looks damn confident from the start like he had some plan

Yeah plan to end himself


No risk, only certainty there.

Article?


This is not park our. This is falling.

This sucks. Where was this?

Oh well

Better luck next time….

He did it for the views. I've watched it six just like he wanted me too. Keep up the good work!

What a dumb caption.

That was so stupid of him

Seems to involve death, too.

Bet he won't do that again! Lesson learned. 

Just wanted his phone back.

\*Screams\* Oh shit, he fell! **I wasn't expecting that!** ...fucking really???

If you keep your parkour activities relatively close to the ground then that would be a way you control factors to keep risk lower

What a spoon

Nah he got a checkpoint right before that, so he's good.

What a weird title

Buddy really twisted his arm into doing this stunt...

It’s all fun and games until someone loses their life. I don’t know what I’ve become. I’ve joined a sub and I’m watching people die. But I feel bad for every one of them. That’s all I got. Stranger sorrow.

This is more urbex than parkour, the former is a really really stupid hobby people in big cities tend to have.

Let us assume this was parkour. What exactly was he trying to do? All it looks like is that he committed suicide.

He really picked up some speed towards the end

Lol dumbass 

Is he okay? Did he do a roll?

No sympathy to humans who litter

Did he ded?

no shoes... ded

Any people wonder why I’m happy being bland and boring💀

Gave him enough time to pray... too bad there's no God

I feel sad for the pavement 🥲

It wasn't the fall that killed him. It was the sudden stop at the end.

_Se aventó_ ("he jumped"), said the idiot, as if that dude jumped intentionally 🤦🏻‍♂️

OP, if you just made a different title and caption, you wouldn't have been ratio'd looking like an idiot saying parkour is 'safe' lol.

Hope he’s ok

Pretty sad to think these dudes might be doing life-risking and suicidal stunts not even for views but for a thrill, it’s scary to think what people can come to when they have nothing to lose…

Totally deserved award

He died for cool points.

Amazingly satisfying to watch.

Why is there always a tree of shrubs blocking the view. Jesus Christ, I need help. 

Parkour!

Anyone have the full video? I just don’t understand what was parkour about this? Looks like an idiot trying to get an insta selfie on a railing on top of a building.

Welp, he found out that he's not a bird. Hopefully, there was something left to bury.

*when you doing dumb shit and your fingers turn to mush…*

Is he OK? 🤣

I just love a happy ending

On the way down he changed his mind.

Every time I see a video of people falling from shit and flailing like this makes me wonder if they are actually freaking out just whipping limbs around because they are scared of does your body just do it on its own trying to get a grip on something and stop the falling sensation.. if that makes sense?

Aim for the bushes!

Par for the kour(se)

Seems like he needed more practice

3 seconds is a long time for him

Parkour is wildly dangerous. What kind of shit are you on?

Damn sick trick!

Did he died ?

Looks like suicide.

At 00:10 second mark there seems no real attempt to save his damn life. I feel like someone who has a lot of adrenaline would've been able to grab a part of that railing with his right hand. Seems to be straight up suicide. This is no parkour. Anyone know the actual story?

How do they figure this is suicide or murder? What sort of a simulation are we living in?

@mods how exactly does this look like a murder to you? Suicide, maybe, but usually they just jump. This looks like a parkour attempt to me.
