Doing pull up’s off the side of a 62 story building may not such a great idea.

A famous Chinese "rooftopping" enthusiast has unwittingly filmed his own death as he fell from a 62-story skyscraper during one of his trademark daredevil stunts.

Wu Yongning, 26, was performing pull-ups at the summit of the Huayuan Hua Center, one of the tallest buildings in Changsha, in central China, when he lost his grip and fell.

The incident was captured on a camera that Wu had carefully placed on another part of the building to record himself.

What is the definition of "asking for it" again?

I saw somewhere that he fell 45 feet onto a roof terrace below. Enough to kill him obviously but it's nice how he staged his stunt to make it look like he's 62 stories up but he'd only fall a potentially survivable distance if it went wrong. Didn't work.

Falling?

I wonder at what point he realized that he was in trouble.

There is a cat in Manhattan that has survived several 42 story falls. It likes to jump/fall out of the window for some reason.

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy...

I wonder at what point he made peace with what was about to happen and just threw is arms out and let it be.

And my previous post was more of a sarcastic joke. I forgot the roll eyes emoji. I shake my head every time I read or hear someone say that a person died doing something they love.... Like the sky diver that died cause his chute didn't open.

Won't lie, that was a tough watch.

My palms got sweaty watching that.

When he didn't get back up on the roof the first time he tried, he had to have known he was screwed, and was going to fall.
