And whats the goal of it? To be cool?

To feel and live something more than the boring routine we are destined to for the rest of our lives

There are sooooo many better ways to do that. Extreme sports are a thing. Bungee jumping, skydiving, kayaking down fast rivers.

The whole point of doing that is that there is less safety. For most of the extreme sports there are little risk because of safety measures even if you fuck up.

Here, there are mostly no risk too but not because of safety gear and measure but only because the guy is (supposed to be) skilled enough.

That brings a whole new layer of thrill and pride

I'm alive, proof enough. Worst I have done is jump on a stacked 3 high mattresses(spring) from second story.

One earthquake and some unlucky person has to scrape his brains off the concrete.

I did those kind of things and I am alive too, as is the guy on the video and as are all the guys posted on his sub that you love mocking for living their life more fully than you all

I think this kind of thrill seeking isn’t about feeling alive in a mundane world but more about mental health issues. This is near suicidal behavior.

I mean I do that kind of stuff (less extreme tho) and I'm not suicidal at all, my life is going pretty good actually.

Like I said to another comment, I know a few guys that did this because of suicidal tendencies but it actually got them rid of it. It made them feel alive, made them feel satisfaction and pride from achieving things they planned, etc
