Afraid of heights? This handstand off a skyscraper is for you

Remember when you were a kid, how difficult learning to do a handstand was? Well, imagine doing it on the ledge of a skyscraper.

The acrobat, Conor Friedmann-Kenny, has been working professionally in the field for five years, and is training to work as a stuntman.

"I would just like to take a minute to explain, this for me is in no way a risk I have been training my body and mind for years to achieve just this."

In other words: don't try this at home.

"I am in no way doing these 'stunts' just for views or likes i am doing them for myself and to push my mind and body past the limitations that we put on ourselves in day to day life."

The video was uploaded by Conor himself at the end of September, but was picked up this week by a content provider who pushed it out to news outlets worldwide.
