Unicycle on huge chimney in Targu Jiu (840' Tall Smoke Stack. INSANE!)

This is totally insane. A guy rides a unicycle around the top of an 840' tall industrial coal stack. This is the only "heights" video that ever made me pucker!

Video Here.

I have a problem with heights, I could only get halfway through the video. They will eventually die from doing stunts like that.

The best trick is making it look easy.

I cant watch this video. I have worked in dangerous places, but this is nuts.

Is it only me, or do others get a tingle in their feet and legs. Hard to watch.

Would be interesting to see if any of the Ninja Warriors would be willing to try hanging by one hand over this opening.

This takes a squirrel-like mentality to not think about what could happen. That’s about the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. I don’t think I could’ve even traversed that dilapidated catwalk for $10 million. I’ve had acrophobia nightmares which were tame compared to this.

Well, he was very confident. Can you imagine yourself walking on that perimeter? Maybe not! But if you can, that is what it was like for this guy.

Let’s see hillary clinton do that to prove she is “healthy”. Opening pickle jars doesn’t impress.

No chance of survival from the smallest mistake.

I do not watch dangerous stunt videos - I do not need to see someone put their life at risk for nothing.

It is clear that those that do these things have never fully understood cost/benefit ratio.

Truth is, we all do dangerous things everyday (drive a car, walk on public streets, fly in airplanes, take elevators, eat at restaurants, and so on). Every day people are injured or die from just going about their daily business. However, the chances of that happening to you in a world of several billion people, is relatively small. The benefit out weight the risk.

But to risk injury or your life to perform a dangerous stunt with very little reward is just stupid.

Wow. I couldn’t decide which was more amazing.. hopping around on the unicycle on the broken brick cap, or doing a one-armed hang inside the chimney.

I’ll bet this guy was famous for doing stupid stuff even before this.

Good thing it wasn’t this guy driving his scooter while attempting this stunt.

About midway through he’s hanging in the middle of the walkway, knocking parts pff/down. He can’t be blocking out “what could happen”, he’s got to be quite aware of it (and think it can’t happen to him).
