Watch: Man scales 29-story hotel with bare hands, no safety harness

What this man is doing, in eschewing safety precautions such as a harness, is deeply wrong. He risks getting himself killed or terribly injured, and by publicizing his feats and giving motivational speeches he poses a far more serious risk to others less capable, less careful, or just less lucky than he is.

And by helping him to publicize his actions, by valorizing him as the “French Spiderman”, you too are encouraging some dumb kid someplace to get themselves killed. And, like him, you’re doing it for a few clicks. Feel good about that?
