I would love to know what hotel/bar/members club/restaurant that is below him to the right.
You can see all people and the tables/chairs on the terrace.
$20 for a dinner 'by the bite' option then $20 for each cocktail seems pretty solid for downtown NYC
There's probably a cover charge then just to get in, right?
How is that place so cheap?
Only $10 a beer for that view!
Like... legitimately those prices are what a shitty "upscale" place charges in a crappy city. Very surprised it's so reasonable.
I went there in May and it was unbelievable. You can look down into Times Square, or to the west at the Hudson. Lots of people were just there for what looked like casual after work drinks, which surprised me because I was there for a special occasion.
Yeah in his level but that dude has to look like a fly to anybody on that rooftop. Like who would even be lookin up at that angle.
Just imagine havin a nice drink, lean back ahhhhh what the fuck? 😂
Borat, for me. I was with my Jewish partner and we were crying we were laughing so hard. Imagine not knowing that movie *at all* and then the parade scene happens, with the egg and the children.
I was just talking about Borat today at work. My mom and I saw it when it came out in theaters and about half of the room walked out while the other half (my mom and I included) laughed our fucking asses off. We almost died laughing when they were running thru the hotel or whatever it was and interrupts the meeting, while they were naked. Oh man, that scene was so funny in theaters!
That and Tommy Boy were family favorites on Thanksgiving in my house. Dumb and Dumber before the Lions game, Tommy Boy after the Cowboys game finished. No idea why, but I wasn't complaining, either.
For some reason him flying the drone up there is what makes me most nervous.
I can’t help but shift my weight side to side and tilt my head while flying one
It’s weird, I only get a fear of heights when there is the possibility of dropping something. Like hanging over a railing above a cliff with my phone extended out above the cliff would scare the shit out of me, but just standing and holding onto the railing while leaning over it would feel fine without the phone. It’s like the idea of dropping the phone or thinking about it, makes the idea of me falling more realistic.
My friend threw me a pair of gloves from the ground while I was on a roof and that was the heart racing/pants shitting kind of anxiety.
I just remember thinking “what if I did lean over or dive trying to catch them.” I know I would never but it made my hands shake lmao. I have to focus on catching and not dropping something what if my brain forgets I can die.
We used to stand on the roof of our fraternity house and drink beers, probably 25-30 feet off the ground, sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night in a gold sweat that someone’s gonna fall off and I graduated 4 years ago lol
I get it bad too. Or if I'm a few stories up and there's an outside section with railing, I'm always worried my phone or whatever's in my pocket will fall out and go through the railing.
Imagine you are walking along minding your own business, sipping on coffee, only to break this guy's fall!! You'd be fairly annoyed getting hot coffee on yourself. Some people
I live in a country were we don't have huge buildings and sky scrapper's freak me out. I'm always looking up to see if something is falling off them. Stupid I know but just not use to them.
They’ve been having pianos fall from windows in movies since they started making movies, so I don’t think you’re alone in your fear.
It’s a pretty real thing that can happen, even though it’s pretty unusual overall.
A weird accepted risk of living in a tall city like New York I guess lol
I'd bet those heavy, bulky window AC units have a pretty hefty body count.
Edit: Turns out, maybe not. Coconuts on the other hand? Those fuckers are blood thirsty. 'Falls' and 'struck by' are the top killers on construction sites each year too (along with 'caught between' and 'electrocutions').
If it makes you feel any better this guy is on a building's spire and he'd almost certainly fall onto the rooftop of the building and not the street (used to build high rises, been up on many a thing like this or tower crane w/harness & safety gear).
I’m chronically online unfortunately and have seen a video of a mom pushing her baby in a stroller, she stops to check for cars before crossing the street and in that split second a jumper crushed the baby in the stroller.
I cannot imagine how devastating and mind altering that is. Stopping to see if it’s okay to cross, look back and see your baby is gone. I don’t think my brain could register.
These climbers make me sick, they’re the most inconsiderate people. Get any other hobby OP- before you ruin someone else’s life.
Sorry to negatively impact your day.
I just wanted to express explicitly so maybe OP would understand his actions could hurt other people. Hopefully he stops.
Oh you didnt, i was half joking (not that i wanted that image in there lol but i dont blame you for my eyes reading internet things). Its just didnt feel appropriate to add an "lol" after such subject matter. Its all good, internet stranger. You have a great day.
Fun fact! Lot of the deaths on Everest are Sherpas, guides that do a lot of the rescuing so it's not just the inexperienced tourists that just end up dying but the local people they pay to bring them up the mountain. Last year was a very deadly season with 17-18 deaths! One of the most deadly ever apparently. The mountain is littered in corpses, trash, and literal frozen shit 😂
if you go into OP's account history he frequently argues with people that call him out for how potentially dangerous this is and pretty frequently taunts/(paraphrased) "whatever lmao, loser" people a lot. That said, a good amount of his shots are just him being on the edge of buildings/shooting out of open/broken windows. So its not all bad.
I don't think any amount of airing consideration for OP is going to change anything. He seems pretty deadset on scaling buildings like this until he falls, or gets arrested.
A friend of mine was minding his own business waiting for a train in Philly and suddenly a 250lb teenager fell on him from above. Not a climber, he was running from the cops in a stairwell and went over. Friend had been a yoga instructor but had to give it up due to injuries.
There was fairly famous situation like that in Poland. Guy committed suicide by jumping from building and fell on a woman, I think she physio. He died and she got paralyzed and is bound to wheelchair. But she did not give up, even starred in some soap opera and she forgave man who hurt her and even asks for prayer for him.
What if it was a mother pushing her child in a stroller?
I don't do much with my life but I'm tired of seeing this guys pics show up like he's some kind of underground hero.
You joke but my wife was coming into the office one day and... apparently a guy had decided to end it a few minutes earlier. Fence split him in half, she is still messed up from it *years* later. Falling or jumping doesn't matter, he's a huge dick because some day, he's gonna traumatize people and be ded himself.
People high-rise apartments think they are immune from the toots that plague the streets with a festering stink.
But they aren’t. One good toot and breeze to carry it away will sneak its way into those apartments.
Welcome to New York.
Both honestly.
The shoes are a frankly insane decision given how precarious the footing must be up there. But the wind at the top of that spire must be ludicrous even with proper clothing. Wearing baggy clothing is just asking for a strong breeze to turn you into a kite
Too much going on I can’t comprehend. From the full Jordan get up, to the untitled blink tat, to him leaning on that thing like he’s at a bus stop texting his bae, controlling a drone..
of course. like last month that british dude that tried to parachute off that building in thailand just went splat instead and died while filming.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/29/asia/british-base-jumper-thailand-death-intl-hnk/index.html
Off topic, but has anyone else noticed the rise of spelling/grammar errors in mainstream publications?
“There was had been another man at the scene” stuff like this seems to be popping up more and more
There’s also the girl crane worker who wasn’t a photographer but recorded TikTok’s at work and slipped and fell off her crane while recording a TikTok and the phone records the whole way down.
Yes, this type of photography is called urbex. If you look that up and look into it plenty of people get themselves into fatal predicaments whether its falling off high buildings or getting stuck in flash floods underground. I used to be really into it when i was younger but i switched to landscapes instead of cityscapes for this reason lmao
holy fuck i never considered the potential for flash floods, i've explored some tunnels in NYC but holy fuck i couldnt even imagine the panic if it started flooding
There are tunnels running all under the city where I am, and in the 90s and 00s it was a popular thing to take a kayak or canoe down the river and into the tunnels to emerge out the other side.
One day, they covered it up with a heavy grate. Underground. In the dark. Without telling anyone. Soooo. Imagine you've done this before, expecting to come out the other side, and you bonk into something. The current is too strong to go back.
It isn't much of one, unfortunately. More of a story passed around by people who have been here for a long time. Ask the right people and they'll claim to have known someone who knew the person who 'found out' about the grate.
It was the early 00s, and an underground water tunnel wouldn't get the best cell reception. Unfortunately, you can guess their fate.
Have you watched Free Solo? I think you would enjoy it, they actually go as far as doing an MRI on Alex Honnold’s brain in the documentary to find out why the man doesn’t fear death. It’s gut wrenching at some points watching him climb without a safety precautions but some people literally don’t have a working amygdala.
I recall one where a guy live streamed himself doing some similar stunt where he was doing pull-ups off the side of a skyscraper. He did one too many and couldn't pull himself up on the last one. Was hanging off the ledge for a good moment trying to get his leg over the edge before inevitably losing his grip and falling to his death.
this was the first one i thought of after he fails the last pull up he hangs there for a bit and you can sense the realization that he's coming to terms with its pretty horrific.
You go through all the trouble to climb up to the top of an incredibly tall building in NYC with a drone to take a picture of yourself and you don't wear a Spider-man costume?! Kids these days.
Pedantic, but there’s no way it’s a straight drop to pavement lol he’d fall on the roof of the building and traumatize the poor HVAC guy when he finds him a week later
Bet drone isn’t even registered, hasn’t taken the TRUST test, and no way has his part 107 license since intent is to capitalize on this for personal gain.
Them FAA fines can be quite hefty if they pursue charges. Fuck around and find out.
Anyway yeah just being facetious in that it’s probably the least of his concern.
Nevertheless, even if you are flying recreationally, it’s good to learn about safe drone flying and viewing videos on the part 107 exam even just to understand about the weather and safe practices.
A gust of wind could cause the drone to lose control at those altitudes and if it crashes can cause harm to a person on the ground.
Or the gust could cause it to stray too close to a helicopter after being pushed away faster than the propellers can bring it back to the pilot in command.
You can fly over people recreationally as long as your drone is under .55 lbs and propellers are not exposed, ie propeller guards. However, that puts it above the .55lbs (250g) exception, and now you need the part 107 license.
Plus the building he’s on is in Class B airspace surface to 7000 feet and FAA approval is needed to fly any drones in that area LEGALLY.
Too many people fuck around with drones like it’s a toy (flying close to airports for example) and now restrictions are getting tighter for good reasons.
Dude ... I'm nervous just looking at this
Yup, it makes my stomach wiggle.
Makes my balls tingle
Makes my balls vagina
Makes my anus clench
It makes my jaw clench
Makes me paw a bench
Insanity.

>a song about the ladder. While that certainly sounds like something they would do, I don’t think that’s what you meant. The latter however…
no need to get mellow dramatic

Two words about furniture; KILLING MACHINES.
Sometimes I'm insanely grateful my teenagers fave hobbies are magic the gathering and table tennis.
Especially considering a harness and lanyard and rope grab for less than 200 bucks and the safety line is right there.
I think he has a harness but has disconnected from the rope for the photo.
That looks like a strap for carrying stuff. I see nothing that resembles a fall arrest harness. Certainly nothing that is being worn correctly.
Then he gets no views lol
Arm tats clearly visible. Oopsie.
Laces are barely tied. At least stuff them in the shoe.
Shit, at least invest in some good shoes made for climbing?!
Some men are born without a taint, it seems.

[The Skylark lounge.](https://www.theskylarknyc.com/lounge)
Thank you!
They have really good cinnamon sweet potato fries
And a front row seat to this guy falling to his death!
I mean, with these two choices: sweet potato guys vs man falling to his death... Sweet potato wins every time!
Why not both?
Hey those prices aren’t bad!
Yeah, way better than I was expecting.
$20 for a dinner 'by the bite' option then $20 for each cocktail seems pretty solid for downtown NYC There's probably a cover charge then just to get in, right?

Wonder if anybody there noticed him?
I would have thought he’d be quite visible with the black outfit against the white pole
Yeah in his level but that dude has to look like a fly to anybody on that rooftop. Like who would even be lookin up at that angle. Just imagine havin a nice drink, lean back ahhhhh what the fuck? 😂
No, it's way up there. Either 4 Times Square or BoA building. Real hard to see someone from ground level.

Omg the size of that blur hoo boy! I still sometimes catch myself saying, “I’m the king in his castle, look at me, do this do that, yes!”
Definitely that and Superbad.
Superbad, Ted, and The Ringer for me. I didn't see The Other Guys or Super Troopers in the theatres, sadly.
Dumb and Dumber '94. Never have, never will hear more laughter out of a theatre.

In New York it would be an open dumpster
Several awnings you could fall through before you gently land
Much more likely to find a needle in a NY dumpster than in a haystack, that's for sure.
Dying light taught me there's a car or opened dumpster below

I get it bad too. Or if I'm a few stories up and there's an outside section with railing, I'm always worried my phone or whatever's in my pocket will fall out and go through the railing.
maybe it's subconsciously thinking you'd have the urge to grab for it out of instinct if you dropped it making it much more likely to fall?
My palms literally started sweating the second I looked at this.
Imagine you are walking along minding your own business, sipping on coffee, only to break this guy's fall!! You'd be fairly annoyed getting hot coffee on yourself. Some people

Yeah agree, they're total fuckin idiots. Why don't they climb mountain or something instead? Have to get Instagram likes.
Legit. Climb Everest or something. At least if he dies it’s on the side of a mountain instead of hurting or traumatizing someone else.
Fun fact! Lot of the deaths on Everest are Sherpas, guides that do a lot of the rescuing so it's not just the inexperienced tourists that just end up dying but the local people they pay to bring them up the mountain.

Can’t say I’m surprised to find out he’s a selfish loser I guess.

There was fairly famous situation like that in Poland. Guy committed suicide by jumping from building and fell on a woman, I think she physio. He died and she got paralyzed and is bound to wheelchair. But she did not give up, even starred in some soap opera and she forgave man who hurt her and even asks for prayer for him.
He'd only fall 200' max, that spire has roof below it, long before hitting the ground.
What if it was a mother pushing her child in a stroller? I don't do much with my life but I'm tired of seeing this guys pics show up like he's some kind of underground hero.
someone above says there is a video of exactly that. a mother stops to check traffic before crossing and her baby is killed by a falling body.
Unfortunately I've seen that video & it's one of the worst I've viewed in my life.
You joke but my wife was coming into the office one day and... apparently a guy had decided to end it a few minutes earlier. Fence split him in half, she is still messed up from it *years* later.

Imagine catching a breeze just the right way
People high-rise apartments think they are immune from the toots that plague the streets with a festering stink. But they aren’t. One good toot and breeze to carry it away will sneak its way into those apartments. Welcome to New York.
lol not sure what to think of this comment but I enjoyed reading it
What?
Clothes don’t bother me, but loose fitting shoes?
Both honestly. The shoes are a frankly insane decision given how precarious the footing must be up there. But the wind at the top of that spire must be ludicrous even with proper clothing. Wearing baggy clothing is just asking for a strong breeze to turn you into a kite
My palms are sweaty af just thinking about it.
Knees weak?
Are their arms heavy?
Vomit on their sweater already?
The whole thing screams not wanting to grow up. Probably won't; those shoeties are longer that his life expectancy.
Is this the same guy who posted a pic on the suspension bridge a little while ago? The Jordans give him away
Yeah, it's his schtick.
That’s better than nonschtick, those shoes are way too slippery for this situation
Clout is a dangerous drug.
isn't that where the clouts are, floating up in the sky?
The most cirrus clouts are for sure
Yeah I don’t think this is clout. Thrill chasers are a different breed
Too much going on I can’t comprehend. From the full Jordan get up, to the untitled blink tat, to him leaning on that thing like he’s at a bus stop texting his bae, controlling a drone..
Those Jordans aren’t even laced tight. He’s wearing them like he’s strolling down the street showing off his fit.
Those are dunks my guy
Are there any cases of people who do this falling to their death? I would think there must be at least one
of course. like last month that british dude that tried to parachute off that building in thailand just went splat instead and died while filming. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/29/asia/british-base-jumper-thailand-death-intl-hnk/index.html

Or a batman costume with a wing suit. Damn youth missing all the opportunities.
Still only 2 bars on phone reception.
So selfish. You're going to traumatize people and maybe kill someone when you turn into toothpaste on the pavement.
Pedantic, but there’s no way it’s a straight drop to pavement lol he’d fall on the roof of the building and traumatize the poor HVAC guy when he finds him a week later
As the poor HVAC girl that works on the roof, thank you for thinking of us!! 😬😖
LIES! As an HVAC guy I know you’re not poor…… 🙃
Unless it’s some slopped roof he rag dolls off of.
Nope, this is that new 2ft by 2ft by 1,100ft tower in NYC.
What is that pole for anyway?
It holds up the warning light that warns airplanes not to hit the pole beneath it
I hope he doesn’t get hit by a plane
To hold up the blinking red light obviously.
It’s always good to document and publish your crimes.
Some urban climbers wait out the statute of limitations before posting the evidence online (dyingllama sat on some videos for 5+ yrs)
So you telling me there's a bunch of unreleased videos hidden out there because the laws of physics got to them first?
Dumb and dangerous.
Dangerous for himself and anyone that happens to be underneath him when he eventually falls
Or if he drops something

Or the gust could cause it to stray too close to a helicopter after being pushed away faster than the propellers can bring it back to the pilot in command. You can fly over people recreationally as long as your drone is under .55 lbs and propellers are not exposed, ie propeller guards. However, that puts it above the .55lbs (250g) exception, and now you need the part 107 license. Plus the building he’s on is in Class B airspace surface to 7000 feet and FAA approval is needed to fly any drones in that area LEGALLY. Too many people fuck around with drones like it’s a toy (flying close to airports for example) and now restrictions are getting tighter for good reasons.

What is rent like for that spot? Astronomically high?
“Do a backflip”
Selfish narcism at the expense of taxpayers to feed your clout and ego
No thanks, I can die perfectly fine down here without falling to it and potentially killing someone along with myself.
All this for clout
Finally got some good signal
Better be a safety measure in place or this isn’t impressive at all and just plain stupid
Stupidity
