VIDEO: Daredevil unicyclist cheats death to cycle along 166m dam in Romania

Flaviu Cernescu: "Unless I grow wings on the way down, there is no chance of survival"...

A daredevil extreme unicyclist has been filmed riding the top of a dam in high winds, with a 166m drop to one side.

Flaviu Cernescu, a 31-year-old Romanian took on the Vidraru, the tallest dam in his country in a clip released by Watch's World's Most Talented.

 

With a crowd watching, he wobbles along the precipice overlooking the huge drop.

His relief as he reaches the other side is obvious to see.

Flaviu said: “I love unicycling at high altitude and I have had this dream to do this at the Vidraru dam for quite some time now.

"The drop on the dam is 166 metres, so if I fall off unless I grow wings on the way down, there is no chance of survival.

"I have a fear of heights but I wanted to overcome it, so today is about facing my fears.”

Presenter Laura Jackson said: “I honestly don’t know how he can do this. I can’t even look down without feeling sick.

"You know there are those things that are quite dangerous and funny, but this isn’t one of those. This is just scary.”

Just make sure you fall to the right, that's why he's leaning that way I guess, I would be!

I sincerely hope he was wearing hi-viz, in case he were to fall.
