Mindless Minute: Russian Roulette

December 09, 2010 ι Jarett Wieselman

Typically the videos we highlight in our Mindless Minute section are fun, 60-second distractions from your job, most frequently featuring puppies. But today's selection features several Russian teens who have quite literally lost their minds.

The video in question features a half dozen kids, precariously perched atop a very tall building, pushing a female friend off the roof as she holds onto nothing more than a makeshift bungee cord. Her screams turn into fits of laughter as the rope recoils and swings her to safety.

Apparently "rope jumping" is a popular underground sport in Russia, where several clubs have cropped up with the goal of continually topping their stunts. "They like to do things really extremely," a local told NineMSN, in the understatement of the century.

Last month another video featuring Russian teens with nothing better to do was forwarded around fast and furiously as the kids climbed out on some scaffolding atop a massive tower. Makes you wonder, if roof jumping is considered one-upping the video below, what's next?
