I thought the one jumping into that narrow jut looked the closest...crazy fecker.
@Crucial have you been to the Piroa Falls on the northern side of the Brynderwyns?
Is a spot there which I've seen people jump from the waterfall which is crazy, I did the higher but slightly less crazy jump here

You don't want this to happen...
Probably just me but I would have had somebody else there as a bit of a safe guard. Oh and a harness, and rope. Oh and not be there.
Darwin award stuff really.

@crucial Any of those calculations are the slightest bit out...
They do seem awfully close.

Should have stopped at one pull-up. Hell of a price to pay to try and lift yourself out of poverty.

@bovidae fuuuuuck. I hate to think what goes through his mind after he knows he's fucked
I'm guessing the anguished cry on the video gives it away.

@antipodean the clip almost looks staged, wonder if there was another ledge to the right as it looks like he tried to jump across...but yeah after that 3rd pull up (why?? surely just hanging and getting back up was sufficient) and he couldn't get any purchase with his shoes, you would start panicking, after which you are basically fooked...just mental!
I guess what makes these thrillseekers famous is the fact they do it all without any safety gear.
If you want the ultimate, you gotta be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love

It wasn't the dastardly Rooskies... and it weren't the evil North Koreans...

THE MOST DRAMATIC cybersecurity story of 2016 came to a quiet conclusion Friday in an Anchorage courtroom, as three young American computer savants pleaded guilty to masterminding an unprecedented botnetâpowered by unsecured internet-of-things devices like security cameras and wireless routersâthat unleashed sweeping attacks on key internet services around the globe last fall. What drove them wasnât anarchist politics or shadowy ties to a nation-state. It was Minecraft.
It was a hard story to miss last year: In France last September, the telecom provider OVH was hit by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack a hundred times larger than most of its kind. Then, on a Friday afternoon in October 2016, the internet slowed or stopped for nearly the entire eastern United States, as the tech company Dyn, a key part of the internetâs backbone, came under a crippling assault.
[...]
Originally, prosecutors say, the defendants hadnât intended to bring down the internetâthey had been trying to gain an advantage in the computer game Minecraft.
âThey didnât realize the power they were unleashing,â says FBI supervisory special agent Bill Walton. "This was the Manhattan Project."

It appears to be missing the text in bold
Ashley Wallace-Merrett pleaded guilty to dangerous driving after the incident, filmed on a dashcam.
The Judge exonerated him on the basis that he was only doing what most drivers would love to do to a fuckwit on a bike that was acting like a fuckwit on a bike. -
