'I thought that a handstand would look spectacular. 'Friends discouraged me but after assessing all the risks I decided to do it. 'I have been doing parkour for almost 15 years now.

Vivan jumps between rooftops as he performs his dangerous parkour stunts Vovan dives off a building while his friend films the nerve-shredding moment from below 'I love to challenge myself. I want to do a somersault on one of the stars of Stalin's skyscrapers in Moscow.' It comes after another Russian YouTuber almost plunged 25 floors to his death in July 2019 when he misjudged a jump. Sergey Shorokhov captured the hair-raising moment on a camera held in his mouth as he jumped from ledge to ledge on the roof of a high rise building. As he is filming the reckless leap he can be heard singing in Russian before misjudging the distance and falling off, catching himself in a split second on some electrical wires. The parkour runner, Sergey Shorokhov, misses his jump and falls off high-rise roof, catching himself on electric wires 'Hold on' shouts his friend in Russian as he tries to pull him up, Mr Shorokhov said the electric current was trying to 'throw me down' Mr Shorokhov said the wires were shocking him and making it difficult to hold on, however he decided that was his only option. Thankfully his friend who is also on the rooftop rushes to his aid, pulling him to safety despite the danger that he could be shocked himself. He said at the time: 'I was in the arms of death and was born a second time. 'I got scars on my stomach and fingers... An experience that will last a lifetime. Thank you to Zlat, for saving me. 'The electric current tried to throw me down but world still need me I feel. 'My mission isn't over yet. But I'm glad we met face-to-face, Death. Because happiness in me became much more. 'Thank you for this experience. Let's see how the world responds to my madness.' Share or comment on this article: All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
