This is the moment an internet star known as 'China's first rooftopper' fell to his death from the top of a 62-storey skyscraper. Wu Yongning, 26, was doing pull-ups at the top of the Huayuan International Centre in Changsha, the capital of Huan Province, when he lost his grip and fell.

Unreal. He did ONE too many pull ups and didn’t have the strength to get up one last time. watching the struggle is amazing. it looks like he tried one last push off with his feet and it launched him from building.

Some people just don’t react to being up at a great height.
I’m not inordinately afraid of heights, but if I were on the rooftop and was able to see the steep plunge below, there is no way I would consider doing any pull-ups.
And to think, he was only days away from getting engaged.

Seriously, was he doing pull-ups or struggling to get back up. Did he lose his grip or his strength???

Interesting. I’ll rewatch it and see if I can spot that.

It’s a horrifying video. Risky and reckless. And cautionary.

He did a couple of actual pullups, showing off, and then couldn’t get back up.

Most people learn from their mistakes, but rooftoppers never do.

There was one of a young lady leaning out of a window for a selfie (from about that high up) recently as well.

As long as he didn’t injure any passers-by or cause too much splatter, I don’t see a problem with this. Do stupid things, expect stupid results.
