Things I Do Not Want To Do: Craning

By Caitlin Corsetti

I’m all for adventure. I think exploring and doing fun activities makes for a fuller life. There are so many cool adventure things to do: rock climbing, geocaching, road trip sans GPS. That stuff I can do. Like I’ll go wander around Central Park with you or like drive to Canada, but there are just some things that should be left alone. Such as jumping off buildings. Or playing with large jungle cats.

Or CHILLIN ON A CRANE AND DOING PULL UPS AND SHIT OFF IT WITH NO SAFETY EQUIPMENT.

Warning: this video will make your palms (and feet) sweat and could make you nauseous. And DO NOT try this, ever.

At first, I was like woah. And then I got really mad that this kid is making this look so easy and that his idiot camera man friend didn’t say, “Hey man, this is a bad idea.” Let me tell y’all something: THIS IS A HORRIBLE IDEA. You are not invincible. Take this from someone who’s had four near death experiences. You don’t want to have that almost-dying feeling. It’s not fun, it’s not exhilarating. It’s scary.

Don’t do stuff like this. I tell you all the time, but I’m going to say it again in all caps and bolded: BE SMART ABOUT BEING STUPID.
