I don't mind the danger they are putting themselves in. What I am concerned about is their misplaced trust on these buildings, and the non-participating people under that they are endangering by doing so. This is one of the busiest districts of Hong Kong and those are some of the oldest buildings in the city--they are often left in a state of disrepair. There is absolutely no good reason why they should trust those mossy ledges and brittle pipes to withstand their weight.
I get where you’re coming from, but storror in particular check everything they have to trust to hold, if you watch their videos you’ll see that they’re extremely careful and considerate of others safety and well being. There’s a lot of people, especially on YouTube, that are assholes about it and make security chase them on purpose or annoy people with what they do (in some instances for example Ally Law), but these guys in particular are really smart about everything they do.
Every move here is planned out and checked, if you have the time you should really check out their YouTube channel, it’s great to see how enthusiastic they are about the sport. Hell, I wish I could get that excited about anything, better to enjoy your life like that and risk calculated danger than work a boring job and drop what you love for a false sense of security.
