A man who did rooftop climbing stunts fell to his death on video.


Changsha, Hunan Province, China - A daredevil who called himself “China’s First Rooftopper” filmed his own death in November (video below).

Wu Yongning, 26, was attempting to do pull-ups on the side of a 62-story skyscraper when he lost his grip and fell to his death on Nov. 8.

The accident was filmed by a camera Wu had placed to record his trademark daredevil stunt at the summit of the Huayuan Hua Center, one of the tallest buildings in Changsha, central China.

The video, which has gone hugely viral internationally, showed Wu preparing for his stunt, lowering himself over the side of the building, and then bringing himself back up, apparently not pleased with the surface of the wall he was holding on to while he hung in the air.

In the video, he went over the wall a second time, did a few more pull-ups, and then attempted to pull himself back up to the top.

He struggled, and then fell, dropping out of view of the camera.

His body was recovered by window washers.


(video - not for the faint of heart)

How can a supposedly good God allow things like this to happen?

Just him and gravity, mano a mano. As it were.

Feel free to show me a coroner’s report that definitively establishes time of death as taking place after someone jumped off a roof but before they hit the ground.

A jump from a ~1,000 foot high building would take eleven seconds so that means the coroner is establishing a time of death in a very small and very specific time-frame.

Here’s something I came across which would lead to the conclusion that people do not die while falling:
