A man who did rooftop climbing stunts fell to his death on video.
Changsha, Hunan Province, China - A daredevil who called himself Chinas 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)

Its been said that facing the sheer terror of death causes the person to faint in mid-air (become unconscious) or suffer a fatal heart attack. In most falling cases, the person is already dead before they hit the ground. I've heard that, too.
Is that just wishful thinking or do they actually have some evidence to support that?

You can’t fix stupid, but you can eliminate it forever.

“The important thing to realise from this tale is that the act of falling freely does not kill you. You might become so terrified as you fall (which sounds very reasonable to me) that you might psychologically “freeze” and become unaware of your environment, but the actual fall does not kill you...There was a case of a parachutist who survived a fall (with broken limbs) when her parachute did not open. But the ground was very soft, and according to the fire officer, “She left a good 12 inch hole into the ground”.”

Why is it his responsibility to protect you from yourself?
He gave us gravity. We need to learn to use it.

Anyone who has the balls and the stupidity to do pull-ups on top of a 62 story building obviously has very little fear of death.

Damnit, it's not an old wives' tale! It's been proven through hundreds of coroner reports.That is nonsense. a) Most heart attacks take several minutes to cause death and the fall would be much shorter. b) There is no way at all for a coroner to tell if a person had fainted prior to impact.

5. Then the devil took Him to the holy city and had Him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 If you are the Son of God, he said, throw yourself down. For it is written:
He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
7 Jesus answered him, It is also written: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.
