Two daredevils in Romania, Flaviu Cernescu and Nikolai Ismail, climbed to the top of an 840-foot chimney and filmed themselves with selfie sticks as they rode around on a unicycle without any safety equipment at all.

The abandoned construction called the Targu Jiu chimney looks over the Romanian countryside far below making the surrounding houses seem like mere specks across the green fields.

Cernescu and Ismail posted the vertigo-inducing footage showing a shocking stunt where they performed all sorts of deadly circus-style tricks. The brave stunt-man in the red shirt and bandana, Cernescu, rides around on a unicycle on the chimney’s narrow ledge where the bricks underfoot are visibly loose. Other terrifying stunts include hanging one leg off the edge of the building and juggling with three large oranges.

Perhaps the most stressful/incredible moment of the whole video was when Cernescu hangs with one hand off of one of the steel rows above the giant hole in the center of the structure. To emphasize how deep the drop to the bottom would be, a caption added to the footage stated that objects fall for more than 10 seconds inside the chimney!

The video has already received 35k views, but we imagine that this number will skyrocket as more people begin to hear about this insane feat.

After scrolling the comment section on the video, most users have simply written, “Nope.” We couldn’t agree more, this death-defying stunt has all kinds of “nope” written all over it for us too.

Would you be brave enough to go up to the top of this 840-ft chimney?
