Daredevil Remi Lucidi dies after fall from 68th floor for Instagram stunt

I was watching a video the other day of a guy on the outside balcony of apartments, and instead of using the lift like a normal person he decided to hang off the balcony and swing inwards so he'd land on the balcony below on the next floor.

He did this for a couple of floors until on one floor he didn't swing inwards enough so landed on the edge of the next balcony and fell off.

I just don't think these people appreciate life enough.

Checking the splat calculator, assuming 70kgs and 3m per storey, it suggests 6.06 seconds, so he didn't have long to think about it.
Terminal velocity 59.4m/s (214km/h) and released 123,480 joules of energy.

So it's like 10 floors a second and given that time slows down when you're facing death, those are a long 6 seconds to have Morgan Freeman narrating in your head "it was at this moment he knew he ****** up"

He lived the high life!
:D


Have to say he had a more interesting life than many. He obviously knew the risks and we all die some day.

He died doing what he loved ay least.

No sympathy, but no judgement either.


I'm a moderate risk taker. I mean could easily die any time out on my bike. I'd expect no sympathy. But I'd rather than than live In safety never testing myself. So these guys I do admire they have the balls for this.

Many of us do things with a significant risk of death but after taking safety measures - I've climbed and abseiled some pretty terrifying stuff but properly harnessed minimising the chances of something happening - there is no way in **** you'd see me free climbing these kind of situations unless it was some kind of emergency.

I remember watching a YT video the other day of a guy climbing who'd taken every imaginable precaution and still got hit by a cloudburst out of nowhere and ended up sheltering under a ledge for several hours before the surfaces were safe - if he'd been a dozen feet or so either way he'd have been screwed.

Actually I have realised as I get older the more if a grip vertigo has on me. I remember running along Bempton cliff as a teenager (before the fences) even the thought of it now makes me nervous if now older and wiser just older and more prone to vertigo!
 
I have such terrible vertigo but it is for other people I'm with too.
It's horrible I am genuinely wrecked by it lol.
If someone starts doing anything "clever" I'll freeze up etc.
Really my Achilles heel lol

Sharp Edge, Blencathra, in winter equipped with crampons and axe is enough of a buttock clencher for me, and I have my feet on solid (but icy) rock. There is a big drop hidden by the cloud below.
