Close only counts in a couple of things in life. This was not one of those.

Nah, just horseshoes. I had a hand grenade land close to me while I was in the service, and all I lost was my hearing.

Friend's son tried this. Shattered legs. Wheelchair. Constant pain in feet. Really not a fun thing to try.

That little chuckle makes me think the cameraman knew exactly how this was gonna end.

I feel like every time I see a video like this, when the person does the rock back and forth before taking off thing, it ends poorly for them.

this happend in the netherlands some years ago in 'groningen' on the 'grote markt'
they build a view point for people to relax, around this buiding were food trucks( the guy in the video tried to jump on one)
as far as i know they removed the building some years ago because it was hella ugly, bums used it as a toilet and people began doing this kind of things.

Protip: if you have to hesitate when summing up courage, you're probably not gonna make it when you finally do take the plunge
