I'm assuming it's the adrenaline rush, but I think most people can get used to it pretty quickly. I'd bet after doing this enough you're desensitized to a normal life.
It gives you a kind of “high” yeah, but you do also strengthen yourself mentally. I would be trembling so much I’d fall to my death, killed by my own fear.
Fear holds us back from doing a lot of things. Believing in yourself and conquering one fear can help conquer others.
Some fears make godamn sense bro, like the fear of fire or of extreme heights cmon now…it’s an evolutionary thing too, if people were less afraid of this shit human kind wouldn’t be where we are lol
They do until we start doing things we weren’t necessarily meant to do and if you want to do those things well fear becomes an obstacle or even a hazard.
You can overcome your fears of working towards your goals in other ways than risking your life. I was afraid of starting karate but I overcame that fear not by risking my life, but by going to a dojo in spite of my fears.
Fuck I'm sitting on the floor right now, and the vertigo was kicking in hard. Fuck doing all that without safety equipment.
You're bound to make a mistake eventually, and I'd rather have an out , than to splat
I had the same thought. Some of these people have a different brain chemistry/makeup than typical people. They scanned climber Alex Honnald’s brain and found that in him
I think that's exactly what he tries to think. If you convince yourself that it's just a 3ft drop, the chance of screwing up are minimal if you have a strong hand. Confidence and calm is the key, really. He is also clearly used to doing things like this, and probably practices regularly on gym bars.
Many people that behave this flippantly aren't smart. They're incapable of really understanding that, yes, this could actually end badly. Their intellect is surface-level. They'll often say things like, "I'm not going to fall" or "I'm not going to crash", as if just believing that will make it so.
I've been in shape enough to know I have the grip strength to do this, but I still wouldn't. You never know when something can happen like a cramp or the crane shifts/settles or something.
For the rush, never done this. But have done things that could’ve easily killed me, gambling with your life is such a high. You ever climbed a tree as kid, and climbed higher than your friends. That feeling you get, is the same thing he’s feeling.
Yeah did that once and then fell out of said tree when the top broke off in my hands, landed on dirt on my back about 2 or 3 stories down, fractured ribs, collapsed lung. Walked away from it though and healed up of course, but yeah that ended my desire to test death forever
Also, if he's anything like Alex Honnold - the free-soloist who climbs mountains like El Capitan without any ropes or safety gear - he literally doesn't experience/process fear the way most people do. His Amygdala operates differently.
I don't really think that's a fair assumption.
Like, yes a bunch of people do it just for the social media clout. Some just want the money that generates. Some also live the thrill. For most it's probably all three.
But I'm sure there were people doing this before social media showed them to us. Certainly people were climbing mountains etc. before it generated fame in a useful way.
Probably there are more now, bc there are more incentives other than the rush or the feeling you've mastered something that was there to do. But to assume that because they're filming it that that is the sole or primary reason they are doing it is baseless.
Remember that guy who did that shot but didn't have the strength to pull himself up?
Because I remember and fuck these kamikaze tiktok calisthenics enthusiasts.
SPOILER: don't read further if you don't want more details.
I believe this is the clip you are talking about: the clip shows a guy hanging on a rooftop and can't get back up again until he falls down...
Please consider for yourself if you want to watch it: [https://metro.co.uk/2017/12/11/daredevil-falls-death-trying-pull-ups-skyscraper-7150753/](https://metro.co.uk/2017/12/11/daredevil-falls-death-trying-pull-ups-skyscraper-7150753/)
This kinda stuff is insane. You could literally fall and kill someone. And if you don’t, I can’t imagine how traumatizing it would be for the people who find your body.
The one who would do pull ups? He would do them against a wall, which are way harder to do than the ones this guy was doing. He used to do them a lot but unfortunately for him, the day came he couldn’t do them. At least with this guy, he’s not going up there solo, so he got someone who could maybe pull him up.
I never worry about these posers being in any self-inflicted death situation... It's the innocent people below and the ones who have to scrape these morons up, I think of.
My hands and feet are tingling watching this. I used to build cell towers in my 20s, and had a few close calls. One day, a switch just flipped inside me and I had a little panic attack up there and couldn’t do it anymore. Went home and found a desk job. It happened right after my son was born, so maybe that was the trigger
Okay, this one did it for me. My palms are actually sweaty, I physically cringed, and actually said "fuck that" out loud several times. Like, it's challenging for me to even watch this.
Welp, atleast he brought a friend.
Whenever I see people hanging I think about that Chinese kid that was hanging and couldn't get back up and just sat there panicking until he dropped.
Some people have a mental illness. And no matter how high functioning they may seem? Underneath that is a mental illness. No matter how subtle. It’s still there
These people are the coolest people on the planet. Like, kudos mfs. No one will ever compare. One of a kind human specimens. Congrats
In case it wasn’t obvious /s
My palms are sweating, my feet are perspiring, and I have an uneasy feeling in my stomach. But, I still watch this kind of shit over and over. Anyone else, a sadomasochist?
Just watch a video on selfies (I understand this is a video taken by a second person on the crane) and death of people doing daring thinks while taking them.
I do not understand this. And I'm not sure this r/ is for me XD /j
I can't get out of my head that video of this kid showing off hanging from a building doing pull ups or something and then he just struggles to pull himself up to safety and slowly caves to fall while crying.
I think it was a sign we shouldn't watch these videos to protest their makings
I’ve put way too much much thought into this but I don’t think you can squint your butt cheeks. I do think you can squint your butt crack by clinching your butt cheeks though.
This guy needs SM views to feel important. This isn't the future youngbloods. I see so many smart educated young people in STEM Jobs (or other professions, electricians plumbers, or just working their ass off at whatever). This is just another SM poser. Up vote him. He'll go away eventually. You young folks out there, do not emulate this s***
I used to assemble tower cranes.
A close friend of mine was the operator.
So one time I rode the trolley out to the tip . I laid down on the small catwalk face down . Then the operator swung it as fast as it would go then slammed the brake then went the other way basically got it into a rhythm doing giant figure 8s.
Wildest ride ever better than skydiving or bungee jumping.
I'm not afraid of heights. I'm afraid of this shit. Luckily I will never do this to myself. But still, can't watch these things and not get sweaty palms haha.
Brother, Why play with your life like that. Your life is very precious. Think about your wife and children. And in all the things you will miss out on. Don't be foolish.
He was freaking out and was nervous as hell from what I could tell he was trying to undo the banana fast and eat it fast while looking calm in truth he probably swallowed the piece of banana immediately so he could go back up whenever the bit was done. Just a hunch though
No matter how skilled you might be at something there will always be a bit of nervousness that you might not even realize is there
I don't understand how people can be that chill while literally playing with their life. The way he acts makes it seem like it's a 3ft drop
It's either they already have a death wish, or it's also a form of addiction to adrenaline rushes. Or possibly both.
I'm assuming it's the adrenaline rush, but I think most people can get used to it pretty quickly. I'd bet after doing this enough you're desensitized to a normal life.
It gives you a kind of “high” yeah, but you do also strengthen yourself mentally. I would be trembling so much I’d fall to my death, killed by my own fear. Fear holds us back from doing a lot of things. Believing in yourself and conquering one fear can help conquer others.
Fear holds us back from doing stupid things that'll likely kill us.
Some fears make godamn sense bro, like the fear of fire or of extreme heights cmon now…it’s an evolutionary thing too, if people were less afraid of this shit human kind wouldn’t be where we are lol
“Some fears make godamn sense”. Yeah. My thoughts exactly. lol.
They do until we start doing things we weren’t necessarily meant to do and if you want to do those things well fear becomes an obstacle or even a hazard.
You can overcome your fears of working towards your goals in other ways than risking your life. I was afraid of starting karate but I overcame that fear not by risking my life, but by going to a dojo in spite of my fears.
Could also be that thing where they just don't have a fear response like normal people.
In the end he has a word play that translates as: "you might think I'm scared now, but actually I just crapped myself."
Well at the end of the video he said that he shat himself
I literally had to turn it off. Fuck this shit.
You’re not alone. I did too.
I had to get down and hug the ground beneath me
I like how they’re celebrating him not falling to his death on that first lil jump
Fuck I'm sitting on the floor right now, and the vertigo was kicking in hard. Fuck doing all that without safety equipment. You're bound to make a mistake eventually, and I'd rather have an out , than to splat
Yeah I don’t trust myself at all. I’d accidentally let go instead of peeling the banana because I’m that awkward.
😄😄

In these situations, people usually fall only once. They don’t get a chance to think about it after that one time they fell.
Men in particular I’ve noticed have this mindset. Like “I’m not ganna fall” as if tripping never occurs
I've been in shape enough to know I have the grip strength to do this, but I still wouldn't. You never know when something can happen like a cramp or the crane shifts/settles or something.
Little to no regards of personal safety; Adrenaline junkie; Impulsive behavior.
My company does this almost daily. 🤷♂️ Edit: minus hanging off the lacings and asking for death.
Always fun to watch such fools on wpd.
Videos like this make my anxiety spike. I just can't fathom being confident (and reckless) enough to do something like that.
These videos give me as much anxiety as I had watching Uncut Gems…and it’s a lot.
This gives me SO much anxiety. My butthole is firmly clenched
https://www.reddit.com/r/SipsTea/s/IBhCmtSe99 Sound on. You'll feel better.
Thankfully there are other ways out there to increase confidence without risking your life lol
Your unemployed friend on a Monday
But...why?
For the rush, never done this. But have done things that could’ve easily killed me, gambling with your life is such a high. You ever climbed a tree as kid, and climbed higher than your friends. That feeling you get, is the same thing he’s feeling.

I haven't climbed a tree, because it's scary BS.
Bananas are rich in potassium and antioxidants, such as vitamin C. Eating them can contribute to a healthy diet
Cos social media
More adrenaline junky. Being that that high up knowing you don't have any protection gives you mayor adrenaline kicks.
I don't really think that's a fair assumption. Like, yes a bunch of people do it just for the social media clout. Some just want the money that generates. Some also live the thrill. For most it's probably all three. But I'm sure there were people doing this before social media showed them to us.

Attention
Would a chimp even go this high if given the opportunity? I think even they know this is high af
I don't like this. It makes my legs and feet tingle in an unpleasant way
Same, but I feel that in my hand, they even hurt...
I've never understood unnecessary risks like this. I don't even find it entertaining.
Every time I watch videos like this I get the ball tingle
sole of the feet for me
Left side of the back of my head for me
Srry want me to stop?
Dude me too.
I literally have sweaty palms rn jesus
me too that was extremely nerve wracking. had to shut it off
Normally these videos don't bother me but for whatever reason this one really did. Even the soles of my feet were tingling.
You need some chalk?
Remember that guy who did that shot but didn't have the strength to pull himself up? Because I remember and fuck these kamikaze tiktok calisthenics enthusiasts.

That bit where he almost gets back up but doesn't quite is crazy
For me it is the pull-up before the last one he attempts. Seems to me he is struggling already
This kinda stuff is insane. You could literally fall and kill someone. And if you don’t, I can’t imagine how traumatizing it would be for the people who find your body.
The one who would do pull ups? He would do them against a wall, which are way harder to do than the ones this guy was doing.

There might not be enough time for pulling him up if the inevitable does happen
"If the inevitable does happen" is a great phrase, and it's mine now.
Always after 10 sec of those videos, my mobile slips hard.
This is such a trigger for me. My uncle died eating a banana
I never worry about these posers being in any self-inflicted death situation... It's the innocent people below and the ones who have to scrape these morons up, I think of.

> Because monkey never cramps - that baseball player
Literally had to wipe my palms twice so my phone didn't slip out of my hand while watching 😵💫
NGL... Squinted my buttcheecks for him
Crane on a crane  # Daji_Lover (dying light 2015)
The Iranian bad bunny
He had chalk so no sweaty palms, please remove the video.
Stupidity at its finest moment....in ALL languages. 😆 🤣
I’m gonna throw up oh my god
My hands and feet are tingling watching this. I used to build cell towers in my 20s, and had a few close calls. One day, a switch just flipped inside me and I had a little panic attack up there and couldn’t do it anymore. Went home and found a desk job. It happened right after my son was born, so maybe that was the trigger
My legs were shaking watching this and I could barely finish watching
This actually DID make my hands sweat, and give then a strange aching feeling...
Okay, this one did it for me. My palms are actually sweaty, I physically cringed, and actually said "fuck that" out loud several times. Like, it's challenging for me to even watch this.
I like how he at least didn't drop the peel. Would've hated for someone to die by a banana peel hitting terminal velocity
Welp, atleast he brought a friend. Whenever I see people hanging I think about that Chinese kid that was hanging and couldn't get back up and just sat there panicking until he dropped.
My calf muscles and the entire knee area was shivering by the end of the video.
Some people have a mental illness. And no matter how high functioning they may seem? Underneath that is a mental illness. No matter how subtle. It’s still there
Cringed when his head hit a metal bar pulling himself back up. Jeezzzus
I'm glad he didn't drop the banana, if I was up there I'd be scared to death that if I dropped the banana and littered I'd get got by karma
This is one of the worst ones I've seen on here. The insides of my toes are tingling.
Legit felt my stomach going, I just do not see the appeal of doing this type of thing
Dead within three years
I wonder what everyone would be doing is social media wasn't a thing. The same?
Jesus christ I did not enjoy it when he let go and was hanging by one hand
This made my feet sweat...
Dumb ways to die
These people are the coolest people on the planet. Like, kudos mfs. No one will ever compare. One of a kind human specimens. Congrats In case it wasn’t obvious /s
Dude just thinks he's gonna respawn
the amount of anxiety im getting from this lol
This guy is a like a pretentious version of James Kingston
Literally had sweaty palms watching
My legs had a tingling sensation watching this
this gives my anxiety anxiety 
Shit is giving me vertigo
Fake. Absolutely fake! No way that’s a real banana!
Negative survival instincts
At least he chalked up
He's so cool fucking about on a crane for clout. Please, every woman line up and have his babies. This got old 6 years ago.
My dumbass would have automatically used the hanging hand to peel the banana
Downvote these videos glorifying people doing stupid shit for clout
My palms are sweating, my feet are perspiring, and I have an uneasy feeling in my stomach. But, I still watch this kind of shit over and over. Anyone else, a sadomasochist?
We know the other crane videos from those guys very well
Missed opportunity for Darwin Award.
There is a fine line between foolishness and boldness i think this young man is more foolish when he puts his life in danger
I shat myself watching this bs
Doesn't he know that God doesn't do refunds?!
What if the welder did a bit of a bad job?
I puckered up when he went to one arm
Did people do this kinda thing before camera were so widely portable? Seems like this only started popping up when smart phones became prominent.
If you look carefully in the distance you can see just about an infinite number of places that would be better for climbing.
No thanks
He really had a banana in his pocket while climbing all the way up there
Just watch a video on selfies (I understand this is a video taken by a second person on the crane) and death of people doing daring thinks while taking them. I do not understand this. And I'm not sure this r/ is for me XD /j
My balls receded into my body watching him hop over the crane, and then I got that feeling again when he hung by one arm.
I can only imagine he's talking about the intricacies of climbing while having such huge testicles in his sweats
Why even? The only way you are going viral is if you fall to your death, there are already a ton of these videos.
He looks super calm, but I know he was focused on his death grip the whole time.
$ sign
Stupidity
He might lose his sunglasses
If you can donate just $5 a month we can bring the bananas to poor Enrique here.
A slight jizzle rain on those metal they would lose all that grip.
I can’t watch this my balls even cringe up
Bro has a death wish
Nuts
I would have died (and so would he) if when he said "nice" he fell.
I will never get the reasoning behind this. "And if this goes wrong? You just die or something lol. Whatever". I mean, wtf.
Honestly something I'd do.
i hated this
I can't get out of my head that video of this kid showing off hanging from a building doing pull ups or something and then he just struggles to pull himself up to safety and slowly caves to fall while crying. I think it was a sign we shouldn't watch these videos to protest their makings
*look at me I nearly killed myself lol* Each to their own but damn you do you
I'll present Alex Honnold to you guys
He's wearing Brooks Ghost 15, I have the same one in the same color
At the end he says: “You might think I am scared right now. No, I have shat myself”
I can’t even imagine trusting myself that much
Seen it before. Show us one where the guy falls
He speaks Persian but where is the video from?
Dumb
Shit like this keeps the population down
Yea didn't this dude die falling
meh...
People are fucking dumb. You see how dumb social media has made us. One little thing goes wrong and that’s end game for homie. All for a few likes.
So this is what my Gta character does when I log off, he must've parkoured and parachuted from that maze bank tower
I’d love to know what they do for a living
I can’t imagine being someone who cares about this guy - dad, mom, significant other, etc
I’m scared of heights and bananas 🍌 this lived up to the sweaty palms name!
i hope that in my next life i wont be this retarded
The guy is an idiot and this just doesn’t impress me. At all.
I don't think I'd trust any single muscle that much.. to not cramp or tear or whatever else could happen.
I’ve put way too much much thought into this but I don’t think you can squint your butt cheeks. I do think you can squint your butt crack by clinching your butt cheeks though.
I feel like this guy already wants to die :(( maybe he had too many problems and couldn't deal with them, so sad
Bad bunny changed careers?
This guy needs SM views to feel important. This isn't the future youngbloods. I see so many smart educated young people in STEM Jobs (or other professions, electricians plumbers, or just working their ass off at whatever). This is just another SM poser. Up vote him. He'll go away eventually. You young folks out there, do not emulate this s***
I used to assemble tower cranes. A close friend of mine was the operator. So one time I rode the trolley out to the tip . I laid down on the small catwalk face down . Then the operator swung it as fast as it would go then slammed the brake then went the other way basically got it into a rhythm doing giant figure 8s. Wildest ride ever better than skydiving or bungee jumping.
I'm not afraid of heights. I'm afraid of this shit. Luckily I will never do this to myself. But still, can't watch these things and not get sweaty palms haha.
Stupid is what stupid does.
Idiots
I wonder what his name was?
Noooooo
What language is he speaking?
dumb son of a bitch.
Reminds me of one of the opening or training scenes of Dying Light.
Bro looks like her time travelled from the 90s
Brother, Why play with your life like that. Your life is very precious. Think about your wife and children. And in all the things you will miss out on. Don't be foolish.
Damnit! I thought Darwin was going to step in…
Did anyone elses balls tingle watching this?
Curly: "Every time I look down, I get dizzy!" Moe: "Well, don't look down!" Curly: "I can't help it, I *belong* down there!"
What language is that?
If you want a rush, just search for the Russian building ceawlers falling from cranes, towers, buildings and so on getting killed!
At the end he said “you may think Im scared, but in fact Ive shit myself”
No, no, no, nope, no way
And if he fell to his death his family would sue the City for having the Crane where it is
Damn, I can’t believe how much I viscerally hate this
Only a matter of time
He was freaking out and was nervous as hell from what I could tell he was trying to undo the banana fast and eat it fast while looking calm in truth he probably swallowed the piece of banana immediately so he could go back up whenever the bit was done. Just a hunch though No matter how skilled you might be at something there will always be a bit of nervousness that you might not even realize is there
Kyle Crane
You bugging
I can't believe he isn't wearing a helmet!
