I remember being young and I'd jump off the roof of our house. If I tried that stuff now my body would shatter!

Can you imagine trying to run that guy down from a building top?

I've jumped from dorm room from dorm roof (5 stories up) in college, and also both climbed and rapelled down the 11 story dorm (and before you ask, yes I was sober for both instances), but that guy is nuts.

I have a few other videos of his antics including some specatular flipping leaps off taller structures (30 feet or so) onto the ground, doing a duck and roll routine at the end... and he gets up and walks away!

I've read interviews with him before, and he says he's never been injured seriously doing this stuff-- claims to have never broken or fractured anything. The guy is crazy, but he knows what he's doing, knows the risks, and he makes spectacular videos, that's for sure!

I shudder to think of the copycats and resulting lawsuits if they featured him on an episode of Jackass...
