CHINA Young Chinese woman wanted to experience an adrenaline rush and climbed to the roof of a 24-story building. There, she attempted a stunt where she would hang by her hands from the ledge. However, it did not go as planned, and she fell to the ground. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The risky adrenaline sport is known as rooftopping or rooftop climbing. Participants climb rooftops, skyscrapers, or tall buildings, often without safety equipment, to capture dramatic videos or photos. It is mostly practiced by young people seeking attention on social media. The combination of adrenaline, desire, and the need for recognition often leads to fatal accidents.
