Wow!
Amazing images.......but I'll pass on the concept.

These guys really are pretty determined NOT to live to a ripe, old age.

All it takes is one fresh bird poop to make a slippery spot....

How do you say "splat" in Russian?

SPLAT = знак

I am so acrophobic. Just looking at those pics makes my hands go numb. like they want to grip the nearest handle.

No, "знак" means "sign".

Onomatopoeic analogs are: шлёп, шмяк... not that anyone is really interested...

Awesome images, but I don't think I'll be attempting anything too similar.

FWIW, I spent many years working on high rise towers I have no fear of heights, granted I am wearing fall protection (harness, tied off). But this just makes me ill looking at how stupid these guys are. To each their own!

Sure, they took some incredible images (hence me sharing them); that doesn't mean they're not idiots for not wearing some form of fall protection to get the shots.

Well, they are definitely fools - it can be quite windy at those heights and they would destroy someone elses day if the street would suddenly need to be sanitized.

Amazing shots, but they are a bit insane.

Well I must say.....these guys have got guts. Some of the images gave me a giddy feeling thinking how high and on the edge they were. Most impressed with the effort. They arent your usual holiday snaps.
Love it!!!!!!!

I made friends with the security manager of the high rise building I work in. Hopefully I'll be granted access to the roof tops to try some dizzying heights photos
