Young daredevil brings down roof, awaits parents' reckoning

5/20/2012

Batman does this kind of stuff all the time, and high above Gotham City, too. So what possibly could go wrong with a little slacklining over the backyard pool? Our hero Nicholas finds out after first proving that he doesn't have the stuff to be one of the Flying Wallendas. Then he tackles the rope from the underside, discovering that the sturdy column holding up the roof was only meant to support weight in one direction. The beauty of the video is in following the action to bitter end, when Nicholas plops down in the rubble and puts his head in his hands. Boy, are Mom and Dad going to be pissed.
