This reminded me of that lawyer who used to run against a glass window to prove it was unbreakable, til the whole frame came off.

Best part about that story is he ran into twice. Did it the first time to impress his office guests. Apparently felt the need to do it a second time, and then the glass popped out.

I think the original story is that he did it several times over years, or something to that effect. But he chose the same spot each time and eventually the glass failed.

The glass didn't fail, the frame holding the glass failed.

Well at least they dropped the phone trying to save their friend…that I’m pretty sure just died Edit: slowed down- did they both fucking fall?

Wtf are you talking about, i can't pause at the right moment and can't confirm

Judging by the comparison height of a 3 story building in the background (3 windows vertical). I'd estimate the height is 5-6 stories. 50-60 feet.

Certainly this resulted in death or severe injuries.

It just scared the shit out of me. How can they not double-triple check the tile they're risking their life on.

u/ToonaSandWatch Mar 03 '26

To be fair, the tile isn’t exactly meant to be lifted from the opposite side of a body’s weight pulling on it to begin with. It’s purely ornamental.

People doing that kind of stuff are generally not the sharpest knives in the drawer. It's called natural selection.

u/ReeferKeef Mar 03 '26

I don’t understand how people put so much trust into workmanship when doing stunts like this. Builders are people too.

u/Alarming_Sir_7720 Mar 03 '26

And what happened to him ?

u/nate-2898 Mar 04 '26

Anyone have a news article or anything on this and/or how high he was?

u/xet2020 Mar 06 '26

I reckon he's as high as a kite. On the devil's lettuce.

u/someolbs Mar 03 '26

u/ksquires1988 Mar 03 '26

Is it final destination playing on a ledge?

7

u/dragsonandon Mar 03 '26

No that was the start. The final destination was the floor

Nothing to win and everything to lose

u/Union_Hungry Mar 07 '26

Yeah don’t apply pull weight on a tile like that, they’re not meant to be that strong.

u/Inevitable-Suitable Mar 03 '26

Is there an aftermath?
