Let a Daredevil Talk You Through His Craziest Stunt Yet – Popular Mechanics

There are no shortage of videos by thrill-seeking urban explorers who seem to have a death wish. They'll sneak their way up skyscrapers or radio towers, and then take a few pictures at the top or upload a short video of highlights inevitably scored with some kind of dubstep. This video from Jame Kingston is a little different. Not only is it 26 minutes long and virtually unedited, but he talks way through his thought process out loud the whole time. It's terrifying and fascinating.

The feat here, as Kingston explains in detail, was to climb up and then between a pair of cranes that extended between two buildings. His dream, insane as it may be, is to jump between two such cranes like in the James Bond movie Casino Royale but, perhaps thankfully, this particularly situation didn't present the opportunity. Still, his calm explanations of where he plans to put his foot next, and where he intends to hang is just mesmerizing.

Feats of daring and dexterity like this are obviously incredibly dangerous but they're also illegal, so under no circumstances should you ever attempt to break into a construction site and start climbing the equipment. You're liable to be arrested or worse. But even though that comes as common sense to most of us, it sure is interesting seeing inside the mind of someone who might disagree.
