Streetheroes bus jumping for HTC - don't do this at home kids.

HTC bus jump

There's a few viral videos out there showing a young man with light post climbing skills that a jungle-monkey would envy, casually hopping on to not just one double decker bus but from that onto another moving one, and then right off it to the ground again. Double deckers are high, it's a miracle of many gallons of milk that the guy didn't break his legs on the jump down.

looking at the first video one might think it's some sort of trickery - Street Hero Bus jump headcam view:

But then there's this page on myspace, with photos and another video shot by his friends on the street that show the full scenario... and by golly it does look like he is doing this for real without any sort of safety net. With a HTC taped to his head.

Note the discreet appearance of the bus ad as the second bus rolls into the picture. Is that a HTC ad? Why, yes it is. This is no accident. But copying kids might cause one, it's all fun and games until someone pokes an eye out... and then it's just fun. Honestly I wonder how the legal department dared to agree to this.
