The Marina 101 is a residential skyscraper in Dubai which is, as the name suggests, 101 stories tall. James Kingston decided to (illegally) ascend the building and walk out onto a crane which he repeatedly and alarmingly describes as “greasy.” Personally, I’m feeling sick to my stomach just watching the gif above. But Kingston is a thrill seeker so he’s obviously having the time of his life.

It’s worth noting that the stop of the Marina 101 is about 1,400 feet high, which is just tall enough that if you were unfortunate enough to fall, you’d briefly experience terminal velocity before turning into some sort of meat puddle.
