This clip should be used as part of an Anti-Weed advert!

After performing the deadly act, the young man is seen showing a victory sign as he is all smiles for the camera. Although it was an old video, it garnered a lot of interest after businessman Harsh Goenka shared the video by posing an indirect question to his followers.
Utter stupidity.

The heart-stopping video was originally shared on TikTok last year where it garnered nearly 30 million views and over 20,000 comments.
Here's how netizens reacted to the breathtaking video:
That guy must have practised for years, unless he is confident he wouldn’t be attempting. He didn’t stand back where he started. He knows what he was doing. Not stupid

I wouldn't dare stand anywhere close to that edge, let alone do a flip. If I call him stupid, it would be because I don't have it in me to do what he did.. but if I call him brave, that would be encouraging recklessness.
