He fell from high wires. It was difficult to see in the original video, and much worse now after being reencoded to death.

In the first .05 seconds of the video you can see some dark pixels and faint diagonal lines.

I found a lot more details, https://www.tropicalfm99.com.br/noticia/17379/homem-cai-do-ceu-em-um-estacionamento-de-onde-ele-veio

Russian news site VL.RU, witnesses saw the man leaving the balcony on the ninth floor of the building and grabbing one of the wires that crossed a street in Vladivostok . Locals called the police and ambulance, but the man fell off the wire halfway before the rescue.

Unfortunately, the man died instantly.

The following is the complete video, where we can see where it fell from (the site blurred the scene at the moment of impact, but the video is still very strong! Be careful):

happened here https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1784504,131.9163004,3a,75y,111.02h,98.65t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1stA8cuo1aQJDYI3KK9EtHmQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

you can see that he was only about 10 stories up.

Another Vladivostok WPD death happened about half a mile to the east of there, it was the video of the teenager calmly smoking a cigarette before jumping, and landing on a car below.

Arms and legs movements make it looks like a dummy for a test.

Saw this video some time ago but it recently resurfaced. I want to know the backstory bc a lot of ppl doubt it's real and I cant find any sources. :( can anybody help out?

the short version is the one that got popular, but I remember the original getting posted to wpd. Here's the full video here, but it's basically what the other guy said, he tried to climb across and fell.

Edit: Changed video link to direct mp4 link

He was climbing on the wires and fell, the original video showed him holding on and scooting down the wires upside down and then he lost his grip and fell.

What is he falling from?? A plane?

I really doubt it, that looks like a very slow fall.
