14 Year Old School Boy Making A Free-Climbing Video, Falls 100 Feet To His Death

A Russian school boy has been filmed falling 100 feet to his death after accidentally grabbing a 30,000 volt electricity cable while making a free-climbing video. The 14-year old, identified only by the name 'Maxim', was climbing along the top of a railway bridge not far from Sheremetyevo International Airport in the Russian capital Moscow while a friend of the same age filmed his dangerous stunt.

After walking along the metal railing once, Maxim stops and walks towards the edge of the bridge to get a better view. However he appears to stumble and instinctively grabs the high voltage cable, which electrocutes him and causes him to fall on to the railway tracks below.
Transport police in Russia issued the disturbing video as a warning to others against performing dangerous stunts on railway lines in order to get pictures and video to put on social media.
