Or extension ladder in a loader to attach the top pieces of tin on a barn. LOL
Been there done that. Was a lot easier when I was younger, now my sense of self preservation kicks in and it's lot harder to do those types of things.
It won't. Too many young people wanting fame and fortune and thinking they are immortal.
But people have died doing stunts. Just a few off a quick search below. If you tempt Fate...
Remi Lucidi (July 2023): The French daredevil known for extreme urban climbing died after falling from the 68th floor of a Hong Kong high-rise.
Yemeni Spider-Man (2026): A well-known extreme free-solo cliff climber slipped during a high-stakes stunt in the Harrat Damth volcanic region and plunged to his death.
Andrew "Sketchy Andy" Lewis, 39, (2026) a slackliner and stunt performer died in a BASE jumping incident in Utah over the weekend.
Carlos Suarez (2025): The 52-year-old renowned Spanish climber died in a wingsuit accident while performing a stunt for a biographical documentary about his life of extreme climbing.
Balin Miller (2025): The 23-year-old popular climber fell 2,400 feet while attempting to retrieve a stuck haul bag near the summit of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park.
There's more if you go back further.
Repurposing their flag is one of the most popular global internet memes I've seen in a while.
Worked for a construction company in north Iowa in high school and after college before moving to Texas. We used to have to re roof a lot of barns, machine sheds, etc. One time we were working on one and my buddy tied himself over the other side of the roof to a tractor. Worked fine until the farmer came out to use the tractor! Fortunately the crew on the ground stopped him before disaster happened
I watched a little of their clips and I literally start sweating. My instincts are STRONG to stay on the ground.
I think about now how we used to climb up the elevator or the ladder to the high level of the hay loft and just how ******* dangerous that was for KIDS to be doing
Worked at a radio station with the antenna right outside the office.
Whenever the light went out, the maintenance guy would climb the tower (150 feet or so), unscrew the light and sometimes if he didn’t want to carry the burned out one back down would drop it and yell “bombs away”. It didn’t land, it exploded.
