A parkour runner missed his jump and fell off a high-rise building’s rooftop.
For those who are unfamiliar with the sport, parkour is an ‘attempt to get from point A to point B in the fastest and most efficient way possible, without assisting equipment and often while performing flips’.
It can be an extremely dangerous sport to partake as one runner showed when he missed his jump and fell off a high-rise rooftop. You can watch the footage below.
