So I wonder how long it's going to be before some idiot tries this with people even with the warning in the video...

Yep or worse you're connected to the piece of scaffolding that falls

Scariest thing I've ever done was taking down scaffolding (with a guy with a scaffolding ticket).  They got me to do it with him first day I worked on the buildings.  Wasn't as high up as that video but fall from 30 ft onto concrete you're still not getting up.  In retrospect they got me to do it as a test and somehow I passed.  Must have been scary for him too cos if I effed up he's fall too

Could I do it now?  No sodding way

As tragic as it is for someone that young to die I somehow don't think we've lost a future Nobel Prize winner...  noooo:
