James Kingston's crane stunt

James Kingston is a parkour and freerunning athlete, that enjoys pushing himself to the edge. In his FB profile it just writes : "constantly looking for adventure". Living in Southampton, UK, his city is his arena, where he performs most of his feats. The latest one is documented on a video (that has gained popularity really fast) showing him climbing a 250ft crane on a local building site and then dangling from by it by one hand. According to the video's description online, Kingston "didn't go up there to die. He went up there to live." See a collection of his videos here.

Taken from the news post in Yahoo News : "He scaled the crane with three pals and even stayed up there for an hour 'enjoying the view' before coming back down. The crane is just over 250ft tall and 150ft across. It took about 20 minutes of slow climbing and shooting to reach the top." Then he added : "I didn't plan to hang, no. It's just the kind of thing that you may as well do while you're up there. I ended up doing it three times, one was shot from above, another shot POV style and the last shooting photos POV style. I wasn't concerned about anything. Pulling back up is very easy." [1]
