[johnloony]

He did it on a brick structure on the top of a skyscraper, and is not actually hanging over the edge of the skyscraper itself. If he had fallen, he would have dropped only 10 or 12 feet. Source: .facesofthehindenburg.blogspot­.com/2008/11/joseph-sph.html

[killiandarcy42023]

[FoxrainFuture]

[ggdeibiza]

Incidentally, if I were to ask him to "Ben Dova", all I would see is his huge balls, 'cause doing that takes a pair and a half.

[ggdeibiza]

Almost had a heart attack watching this.

[madhater2]

He goes on tour with his wife... Eileen Dova

[Devilock79]

Have you ever heard of the two gay Scotsmen, Ben Dover and Phil McCracken?

[roflcopter667]

Does anyone else get the sexual innuendo of his name? Or am I just immature

[FCBayernJunkie]

I almost had a heart attack watching this 0.o

[ThePrinceDhani]

Is this real or did they fake it?

[MetaKnight2004]

Bend Ova?

[quadoodle00]

Was that honestly his stage name?? Was his manager called Don Fall???

[TheKanew1]

ben dova haha :L bet that was his chat up line

[mag2XYZ]

"The angle of the cameras make it look as though Späh were hanging over the edge of the Chanin Building's roof, when in fact he was only facing a drop of perhaps ten or twelve feet to the building's main roof"

so it's only an illusion... still quite cool though^^

[GoonerRaph007]

I'm amazed that the lampost didn't fall over from his gigantic balls.

[eeyantuba]

[Busekerl]

@Busekerl ...actually ... the blue screen and traveling matte method were developed in the 1930s at RKO Radio Pictures and other studios....(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) ^^
