I hate heights and I began to start sweating immediately as I noticed how high up they were then when you could see the cloud and at the top of the crane I got that sensation that I'm sucked into the camera in their situation and then falling, it's very annoying.

Was I the only one waiting for them to parachute down and have the parachute'e film it on the way down.

Too bad that they didnt BASE jump off there - they'd be the first to 'tap' that building.

Wondering what'd happen if the police caught them - after all, it's China (if they had BASE jumped).

Personally, I would never do such a thing unless I was a BASE jumper (and a climber) and wanted to jump from the building - cilmbing down seems like an awful lot of trouble, jumping off would be much easier ;p
[though that also depends on the LZ situation and some other factors]

lol the guy has ropes, he will hang but wont fall. i guess in mother russia they use ropes

This Russian is even more crazy than the Russians in your video.

(note : the video was watched 80 000 times while I watched it and read this thread)

I think the risk of being catch by the police is also reallty scary, I never had any problem with police in China, in fact they use to be more gentle than in many other countries, in my experience at least. But being catch doing this can make them think this people were terrorist or something, so...
