A parkour runner faced a terrifying moment when a misstep left him dangling from electrical wires. The heart-stopping footage quickly went viral, sparking discussions about the risks of extreme sports.
While attempting a daring rooftop jump, the runner landed on the edge of a tall building. Things took a turn for the worse when he tried to round a tight corner and got caught in electrical wires.
The entire moment was captured from his body camera, showing just how close he came to a serious accident.
As he lost his footing, he slipped down the side of the building. Acting fast, he grabbed onto the wires, preventing a dangerous fall.
Thankfully, he wasn’t alone. A friend helped him climb back to safety. Once on solid ground, the two burst into laughter, likely from sheer relief.
The video, later shared on YouTube, has been viewed over 2.4 million times. Viewers had plenty to say about the near-miss.
One user commented, “I think he finally found the adrenaline rush he was looking for.”
Another pointed out, “Is anyone else impressed by how strong those wires are?”
The footage didn’t just stay on YouTube. A clip shared on X (formerly Twitter) racked up over 21.1 million views, with people reacting to the intense scene.
One person joked, “If you want an adrenaline rush, just go to the gym.”
Another added, “The more you mess around, the more you find out.”
Some viewers related to the feeling of escaping danger, with one writing, “I understand that laughter at the end. It’s pure relief.”
Others focused on how lucky the runner was to have a friend nearby. “Imagine if he had been alone,” one person pointed out.
The stunt may have gone viral, but many agree that this is one experience the runner won’t be in a rush to repeat.
