    Some cracking photos but I think you’d want to be mad to scale them dizzy heights.

    I was wondering if instagram wud take down what’s left of him on the side walk when that’s posted by some one else? Wud youtube erase his video of the 1000 or so foot fall ? The photos may look cool now but the ending of this series of photos may not. Hope his mum can talk some sense into him.
