  • Shocking video captured a daredevil walking a rope between two downtown Los Angeles skyscrapers, a vacant site that has become infamously known as the graffiti towers. A video from RUclipsr Ben Schneider shows him climbing atop Oceanwide Plaza and walking across a slackline attached between the two towers.
    Schneider, a self-proclaimed performance artist and daredevil, posts videos under the RUclips handle “Reckless Ben” and has amassed over 350,000 subscribers.
    Inside the building, he and his team members climbed 500 feet up the tower to string together multiple times to string together and tighten two one-inch nylon straps between the two towers. While holding a camera attached to a selfie stick, Schneider carefully mounts the line and begins walking across the rope, his camera capturing the soaring viewpoint and moving traffic down below.
    KTLA's Rick Chambers reports on May 17, 2024.

The guy stood up to look over the edge of the building and the Wichita police grabbed him before he went over. He probably would have been pavement pizza had he succeeded.
