YouTuber Performing High-Rise Building Tightrope Act... Reaction Received Instead of Applause

Suspicious Circumstances of Building Break-in by Deceiving Police Revealed
Local Reaction Cold... "Go to Jail"

Is it bravery or recklessness? An American YouTuber drew attention by performing a 'tightrope walking stunt' on a pole placed between two skyscrapers. He was reportedly immediately arrested by local police after the stunt.

Local U.S. media, including KCAL News, highlighted the YouTuber 'Reckless Ben,' who carried out the stunt in downtown Los Angeles (LA). Reckless Ben's real name is Ben Schneider, and he is a YouTuber who uploads videos of various dangerous challenges.

Recently, he stretched a rope between two 45-story skyscrapers in LA and performed a balancing act by walking on the rope. The event was also captured in detail by a drone. The actual footage shows Ben barely maintaining his balance as he walks between the buildings.

The buildings where Ben performed the stunt are two skyscrapers called 'Oceanwide Plaza.' After finishing the stunt, Ben explained in an interview with local media, "It was very scary. When you look down, you get scared, and when you get scared, your body shakes. Then you could fall immediately." He added, "I tried to stay as calm as possible to avoid falling."

He also mentioned that he deceived the police to get to the top of the building. He said, "I gathered 20 supporters holding placards that said 'Jesus saves' to block the police's view, and while they were distracted, I climbed over the fence."

Ben was reportedly arrested by the police after completing the stunt. Local authorities are currently investigating him, but it has not yet been decided what charges will be applied.

The reaction from American netizens who heard the news was cold. They criticized that deliberately doing dangerous things to attract attention and wasting police resources in the process is meaningless. Comments included, "This is an example of waste in modern society," "Your parents would be so proud if they knew this," and "If that YouTuber goes to jail, it might become a more interesting case."
