What a dick
He might get a £200 fine. Meanwhile, the video has earned around £4000; presumably much more from the fame generated.
I wonder how much that police/fire/ambulance response cost - even ignoring the trauma caused when they die in these attempts.
It's immoral that YouTube pays people to do these things, and does so little to control it.

OK
The fine is the responsibility of the authorities.
The emergency services also have to attend to bikers/sports players/smokers/drinkers/vehicle crashes/bicyclists/DIY fails/swimmers/gardeners/parachutists/horse riders/pet injuries/obesity related illnesses/scrabble wounds/sailors/junkies etc etc so why not them?
People like doing it, they are clearly climbers, strong and fit and have trained for this, not some kid wanting to make it rich on YT.
The majority of the people watching can work out what will happen if he falls, up to them to watch.
B3ta is a puerile humour site, apparently.

not entirely sure why
but your comment minded me of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEacGiMO3K0 oh yeah, that was it - couldn't he just have climbed to the first floor forty times to prove his point?

Far safer, but I reckon he'd get more views with a trampoline.
Hadn't seen the Jam clip.

I had to skip most of that out of fear
the pov shots after 26mins had me squirming in my seat
I shouted 'fuck off!' out loud when he looked over the edge

That would assume there is a brain right.
More likely we've all got variations of one sort or another.
