British daredevil pulls stunt and hangs from Dubai’s highest crane without security | Abroad

Dangerous. The latest stunt by Adam Lockwood (21) from Manchester cannot be called otherwise. The British daredevil pretended to be a workman and entered the Il Primo apartment building in Dubai, right next to the Burj Khalifa, in the morning. Because someone there forbade him to use the elevator, he had to take the stairs up 77 floors. It took him two hours.

Lockwood exited the building around 5:45 a.m., fifteen minutes before the workers were due to arrive, via a construction crane and hung from a metal beam at a height of 390 meters. The images of him hanging from the tap, which he shared via YouTube, are hallucinatory. Especially when you know that he had no protection on at all.

Surreal

The Brit mentions his experience in The Guardian “surreal” and “almost peaceful.” “When I first looked at the images, I thought I had done the most insane thing ever. It’s something I know I can do and that 99 percent of the world can never and will never do. That’s why I feel obligated to use my skills and enjoy them in the meantime.”

He then added that he didn’t realize how greasy the faucet was until it was already hanging on. “It looked like desert sand at first, but I looked at my hands and saw that it was fat. My hands and feet slipped on everything I touched.” At the end of the video you can see Lockwood walking away in the street, looking up at where he just hung. “I slept all day after that,” he said afterwards.

Not first stunt

Lockwood previously performed similar stunts in other places. In April, he was still dangling from the roof of the San Siro football stadium in Milan. In the Louvre, he was already daring against the glass ceiling.
