Nervous moment skateboarders perform idiotic stunt on top of Scape Swanston, Melbourne

Horrifying footage has captured the moment skateboarders diced with death while performing tricks on top of a 47-storey skyscraper.

In the video posted to Reddit on Wednesday, the pair were seen skating on top of the Scape Swanston building in Melbourne’s CBD.

“Just casually skateboarding on top of a 40 story building,” the post read.

In the footage, the daredevil duo were seen risking their lives and the safety of innocent people on earth.

One of the two practiced tricks while the other filmed his partner doing his pointless shredding.

As the video continued, there was surprisingly no sign of building security, so the two casually continued their alarming antics.

The Scape Swanston building has no safety railings, which no doubt contributes to the dangerous tension.

Social media users were quick to condemn the skateboarders and their dangerous antics.

‘This shit scares me. If you want to be an idiot and kill yourself, fine with me,’ wrote one.

‘But DON’T risk falling from a building onto the people below, and DON’T risk a heavy object like a skateboard falling off and killing people below. These c***s should be arrested.’

Another added: ‘At that height you don’t even think it needs to be a heavy object to kill people below. The speed of something as small as a watch would be like a bullet.’

Another commenter was concerned about innocent people on earth.

“Imagine just minding your own business and trying not to sit in a bird shed outside the museum and skateboard from the sky above, just straight up sending you to heaven,” they wrote.
