do videos like these make you feel weird or angry or confused

[winamp]

(wasn't sure if this should go in suicide discussion so I am just leaving it here)

when I see videos like these randomly I wonder what I am doing wrong/stuff relating to SI, indecisiveness, not thinking that I am not bad off or suicidal enough if that's even a thing etc. etc.

or I wonder if this hobby/stunt seen in the video(s) relates to Urbach–Wiethe disease which is something I haven't done much research on or read about because I only recently heard of it last year



this one is a bit more anxiety inducing than the other (along with this channels other videos where he does this)



would like to hear opinions and thoughts on this hobby/these videos

I was following a guy who did stuff like this, and one day he just fucking died. His last upload was just him doing push-ups on a tall building and he lost his grip. I cried for hours, it had me so shocked. All it took was one mistake and he was gone. So i don't watch this tuff anymore it makes me feel anxious

Just watching stuff like that makes my hands go all sweaty and my heart start racing. Some people are just built different, if that's what they enjoy doing/want to do then fair play to them.

I feel like you'd have to have at least a little bit of a death wish to make videos like this.

 

[vitbar]

I find it appealing.

I am sorry that you saw that happen to someone you knew hopefully it wasn't live/in real time because I have vaguely heard of that happening sometimes in videos like this which could be even more traumatizing. I am also surprised no one has really talked about those incidents as much so then others who enjoy the hobby can be more safe or take precaution in the future. Maybe the lack of safety gives them a rush like with many other hobbies or interests even if they aren't as extreme as the ones mentioned here.

Same, instantly reminded me that I am probably still afraid of heights as well ': /

Watching such videos gives me the same feeling as if I do it myself. Not really an uncomfortable feeling but honestly I wouldn't do it irl. Too much of a coward for that and I don't have any sports experience.

These people hopefully know what they r doing and they take a risk. That's their decision not mine.

 

[trappedinthislife]

Not my cup of tea, and don't rly care. If it's their decision, go ahead, just don't hurt anyone. I feel like some of them are suicidal as well, people are pretty fearless when they are.

And also, I hope they're not doing this for youtube clicks. Because putting your life in danger for clout is to me a stupid idea. When you die no one will remember you anyways. So if you do this because you enjoy it, go for it. If you do it because you want attention, don't.

There's no way I'd be able to do something like that.
It's not for me.

Of course, I like to watch this type of content sometimes.
This is also interesting ;)

I swear, there's 2 types of people, the type that would do everything to be away from harm and the type of person that would back flip into a grizzly bear's cage while handling 2 king cobras, drunk and higher than the clouds.

 

[etherealspring]

i enjoy a good adrenaline rush from these sorts of videos. not sure if id be able to do it myself irl tho

Urbach-Wiethe disease is very rare so its unlikely that this has anything to do with that disease. Some people like the feeling of having an adrenaline rush, so it's more likely that those people are just adrenaline junkies.


Also, those videos are fucking terrifying.
