  • There was a link to this on bing

  • Due to an accident, he was missing the thumb and forefinger of his right hand (and part of the palm, so that about half his hand was missing). Watch this carefully and see how he gets around it without anyone suspecting. This is beyond genius!

  • LLoyd was actually working on a facade built on the roof of a real building, making it look like he was higher than he was. Also, a stuntman was used for some parts. It was still difficult, dangerous work, and Lloyd, did a lot of it on his own.

  • @cuppajoesugar

    I've read that was 10 metres.

  • @kezadrone There was a scaffolding, but it was 10ft below and had no more padding than a mattress.

  • He must have had a scafolding under himself . If not that's some serious stunt work.
