According to the Daily Star and Hong Kong's eZone, on the 10th, 32-year-old Hong Kong Internet celebrity Sophia and her friends set off from Leung King Estate in Tuen Mun to Pineapple Hill. At about 17:00, when the group came to Qingdashijian Mountain Road, Sophia planned to take a selfie here. Unexpectedly, there was an accident, and Sophia directly fell off the cliff.
She fell into a 5-meter waterfall and suffered a head injury. The friends were so frightened that they immediately called the police, and the police arrived at the scene and dispatched a helicopter to rescue the people, but it was finally confirmed that she had lost her breathing and heartbeat before being sent to the hospital.
Extreme photos taken by Sophia
You may not know much about this internet celebrity, she is famous for her enthusiasm for adventure sports, often punching in various mountains and seashores, and occasionally posting her extreme photos on steep mountain walls, with nearly 7,000 fans.
Beauty is really beautiful, but danger is also real...
In recent years, due to the rise of self-media such as short videos, many Internet celebrities have continuously made some extraordinary behaviors in order to beat their eyeballs.
The photo taken by Viki Odintcova with a friend on the 310-meter-high Bayan Tower in Dubai earned her millions of views overnight and became an internet celebrity.
Moreover, many people refer to her photos as "outlaw photos", which feels like playing with their lives.
In addition to the type of photo taken above, some people like to climb up high-rise buildings and then stand at the highest place to shoot down.
Like Angela Nikolau, who once stood on a skyscraper in Tianjin and took a selfie with a relaxed expression, as if she were on a normal flat land.
Needless to say, Angela, who has a unique hobby, is really different from the average girl. Her romance with her boyfriend is: Let's go climb the stairs.
For some people, extreme sports in unprotected altitudes are like walking on a death line.
With just the power of the fingers and toes, the whole person is suspended from the cliff.
Carry a rope and climb with your bare hands.
When it comes to freehand climbing, french "Spider-Man" Alain Robert is an expert in this area. He fell in love with rock climbing from the age of 13 and later specialized in unprotected freehand climbing.
How passionate is it? He has been jailed more than 50 times for climbing illegally.
This so-called pursuit of greater limits is that it will bring a very bad demonstration effect to some people who are not deeply involved in the world or are eager to become famous.
Although it is entirely a personal choice to choose what way to live your life, you still have to be cautious about taking unnecessary risks at the cost of your life!

He has served as a group actor in several TV series
10 months ago, the first high-rise extreme sports video was posted, and after "the difficulty is greater than once"

In his 2013 Weibo, he also complained about living a life and could see his desire to earn money. On two occasions, Wu Yongning also remembered his deceased father on Weibo.
In 2017, Wu Yongning began to post small videos on a video software, but the response was minimal. On February 10, 2017, Wu Yongning posted the first video about extreme sports in high-rise buildings, that is, playing with a balance bike on the edge of the 10th floor, and marking the words "if you don't die, you won't die". This video below shows that the tip is more than 130 yuan, and there are many netizens who are amazed and surprised.
Since then, Wu Yongning has often uploaded extreme sports videos of high-rise buildings, and the height is higher and higher, the action difficulty is greater than once, and the challenge is becoming more and more frequent. His Weibo name was also changed from "Actor Wu Yongning" to "Extreme - Yongning".
In the last updated video, Wu Yongning is on the outside of the tall building holding the edge of the roof to do pull-ups, and has one-handed movements.
Friends had saved him twice before
"I think the online video hurt him", "Every time I see him move, I can't watch it"
After Wu Yongning's accident, another high-altitude challenge enthusiast, Buck, said: "I think the online video hurt him because there are fan tips and so on." ”
Tong Hu is also a high-rise extreme sports enthusiast. Tong Hu told Red Star News that he and Wu Yongning met in September and began a high-rise challenge together. At the beginning, Tong Hu was frightened by Wu Yongning's dangerous movements, "Every time I see his movements, I can't look at them." Tong Hu said.
Tong Hu also saved Wu Yongning twice. Tong Hu said that he would shake his head when Wu Yongning made a movement, and he understood that this meant that his physical strength was about to run out, and Tong Hu would save him and pull him up.
Tong Hu also warned Wu Yongning not to be too dangerous. But his ego made Tong Hu feel afraid, "If he really falls, how will I treat his family?" After saving people twice, Tong Hu thought twice and left Wu Yongning.
Wu Yongning did not like others to take care of herself. His girlfriend Jin Jin often persuaded him not to try this kind of sports again, and Jin Jin said that he replied to this: "Before, when I went to sea, my ex-girlfriend didn't care about me, and I don't understand why you care about me so much." "The circle of friends he climbs will block Jinjin, who once told Him that he wants to go to Dubai to conquer the world's tallest building.
In October, Wu Yongning said in an interview with the media:
I dare not say that I am the first in China, because there are too many people playing this in China now, but I must be the one who plays the most fiercely, because I am climbing every day, and I am playing with my life.
Last year, for the first time, driven by curiosity, I went to an abandoned ten-story building in Hengdian. Fortunately, there were two brothers at the time, and when I was exhausted, I pulled a hand to let me have a smoother start. The feeling of fear is far more than excitement and excitement, the time is long, the sense of achievement is something I have never experienced, after the courage is getting bigger and bigger, I will do some actions that look like "death", but in fact, I have a number in my heart, and I will take the initiative to give up when I encounter danger.
This sport is illegal in China, and I am often blocked by security guards and properties when I go to the community, and I can only sneak around and rely on luck. It is common for the police to be caught and enter the bureau, but so far, there is no particularly serious punishment except for educating us.
As for future plans, when I am disabled, unable to move, dead, I will not play.
"Everyone goes when they are physically fit and in good shape, but he has to challenge almost every day."
Insiders:
No merit can be emulated
It is understood that climbing is a kind of extreme sports, and the name in extreme sports is "Rooftopping". The source of the sport was Tom Ryaboi, a man named Tom Ryaboi in Toronto, Canada, who climbed up to the roof of a building with his friend Jennifer in 2010 and took a set of photographs. In the photo, Jennifer sits alone on the top of a tall building, her legs dangling in the air, the building vertical like a cliff, looking down, all of them are densely packed with people the size of ants. Then he shared the photo on the Internet, which caused a sensation among netizens.

The people who participate in The Roofping are known in the country as the Climbing Party, which first referred to photography enthusiasts who climbed tall buildings for the desired angle of photography, just to take special photos of the city. Many people do not understand climbing the stairs and think that it is too dangerous, but in the view of the climbing party, "there are pictures as proof" will make them want to take more risks, climb to the top and look down on everything, and take more wonderful pictures.
Buck is a member of the Climbing Party and has been exposed to subcultures. At first he danced hip-hop and then played parkour. He spotted the climbing party while searching the website for foreign parkour videos, and out of interest, in early 2016, he began experimenting domestically. So far, buck has climbed the tallest building in the country by more than 600 meters.
Buck introduced that the climbing of the stairs was only to take some static photos at the beginning, and slowly developed into a video, and the challenger slowly made some movements on the top floor of the high-rise building to make the visual effect more shocking and impactful.
Buck told Red Star News that there are not many people in China who play high-altitude extreme challenges, generally taking pictures, doing very little action, and there are only a few dangerous people like Wu Yongning. "After Wu Yongning's accident, the people in the circle are quite sorry."
Buck and Wu Yongning only talked a few words, Wu Yongning first asked Buck which high-rise buildings he had challenged, and hoped to challenge with Buck next time, but because time did not permit, he did not make the trip.

Buck repeatedly stressed to Red Star News: "Extreme sports must be done according to ability." He admitted to insuring himself. "Acting according to one's ability" refers to a comprehensive judgment based on one's own physical strength, ability to make movements, mastery ability and time. Buck contacted high-rise extreme sports more than a year earlier than Wu Yongning, and still thinks that Wu Yongning is playing with his life, "Everyone only goes when they are physically strong and in good shape, but he has to challenge almost every day." ”
Tong Hu also stressed to Red Star News that "you can't go up to the top floor to do it without training, and you can't do it on the edge."
However, there is no explicitly defined forbidden area for extreme sports. Buck only said two unwritten rules: first, that the building should not be named, and second, that public property should not be destroyed.
"There is no relevant law in China to regulate these dangerous extreme sports, and now it can only be guided through relevant industry associations."
lawyer:
It is illegal to climb buildings such as public facilities
Liao Hua, a lawyer at Tahota Law Firm, said that extreme sports players like Yong Ning are illegal in climbing on public facilities, commercial buildings, bridge towers and other buildings, and will disrupt public order and punish public security management.
Liao Hua said that these players generally enter the building quietly, and in the event of an accident, the building party will not be responsible. Unless they use a security vulnerability to enter the building, or if there is a safety hazard in the building itself, "for example, if the glass stepped on by the climber is broken and causes it to die, it will be held responsible." ”
Climbing is a kind of extreme sports, which has only emerged in China in recent years. Liao Hua said that groups that love or engage in extreme sports are high-risk occupations, and they should disclose the actual situation to the insurance company when purchasing insurance, otherwise the insurance company may deduct the compensation in the event of an accident.
Liao Hua said that precisely because extreme sports is a relatively new field, there is no relevant law in China to protect these dangerous extreme sports, how to organize, how to carry out, and now they can only be guided by relevant industry associations to let them operate.
