One daredevil crane climber is not afraid to stare death right in the face in a video uploaded to YouTube almost a week ago.

This clip has gotten a lot of attention from viewers lately, clocking up nearly 700,000 views.

According to the title, it was shot in Southampton in the UK and the climber is one James Kingston.

Metro writes that Kingston has captured the stunt on a GoPro camera in the Ocean Village.

“I didn’t go up there to die. I went up there to live,” he describes the adrenaline-riddled experience.

He hangs from a crane at 250 feet (76 meters) with no harness or any other form of safety equipment. In one terrifying stunt, he only holds on to the crane by one hand.
