00:00Standing on the concrete ledge of a 60-story drop,
00:03this is the exact routine before stepping into thin air.
00:07Heavy carpet padding is secured over the parapet wall first,
00:11preventing sharp concrete from slicing static ropes under tension.
00:15Next, the descent device is threaded and locked into the primary harness,
00:19verified twice before taking any weight.
00:22The wash bucket drops over the ledge,
00:24and with one calm step backwards,
00:27he commits his entire life to a single braided line.
