Video: Ukrainian daredevil’s stunt compilation is absolutely terrifying

Don’t look down…

Conor Heneghan

Don’t look down…

Scared of heights? Is looking out of a window five storeys up enough to give you the creeps? Then it’s safe to say that the mere thought of the stuff that a Ukrainian daredevil by the name of Mustang Wanted gets up to will scare the sh*t out of you, never mind actually seeing it for yourself.

A talented free climber who gave up his job to pursue his passion full-time, this guy laughs in the face of gravity by hanging from ridiculous heights with only his bare hands (and sometimes just a hand) for leverage, walking along narrow ledges where one foot wrong would result in certain death and suspending himself on the back of trains moving at pretty serious speeds.

The man is obviously in great shape and possesses some serious strength to get himself in and out of some of the ridiculous positions you’ll see in the video above and the word ‘fear’ is obviously missing from his own personal dictionary.

We strongly suggest you follow his ‘Please don’t recreate this, be careful’ line at the end of the clip; not that we imagine many of you needed much persuasion to heed his advice in the first place.

Hat-tip to William Shanahan for sending this one our way
