I'd like to draw your attention to the work of parkour athlete Joe Scandrett. Perhaps some fellow forumites might care to form a parkour posse? Don't think I've even slid down a firemans pole! Instagrom content below, will see how new forum handles it...

Sods law if I tried that the pole would either be covered in rust or grease 🙂

Potential smashed legs and pelvis ?

Just people looking for a more and more intense hit of adrenaline, which never ends well

Insane. Would like to see it without the slowmo in the middle, though.

It handles it better than my browser handles Insta natively.

Yeh he's quite the guy when it comes to pole slides. Seen him practising a front flip on to one in indoor places video. He was in ninja warrior too as a professional ninja though iirc he didn't perform so well as I expected. 

I follow a few parkour channels though my days of trying any of it are long over with one new knee and hoping for another this year.

Puts me in mind of an anecdote from Adam Kay's 'This is going to hurt.'
