Ah, the folly of youth. A young man was caught endangering his own life by hanging off a ledge at an HDB block, the location of which is unclear. As if that wasn’t enough, the kid even did a couple of high-altitude dips before clambering up to safety — all while chuckling at his own audacity.

The clip itself was recorded and uploaded onto Instagram stories, which found its way onto Facebook today. Voices of alarm and laughter can be heard offscreen as the camera pans to the view downstairs, showing that the young man was indeed dangling from a level high enough to kill him should he make a wrong move. Undeterred by his friends’ nervous urging to stop fooling around, the confident youth showboats by performing four dips before finally straddling back up on the ledge.

Clearly, the young man is undaunted by horror stories involving high-rise daredevils, including one last December that had a Chinese man inadvertently filming his own fatal plunge when he fell from near the top of a 263 meter-tall building.
