The clip was shared by @earthpix on Instagram and has racked up more than 11 million views. A stunt as such, it was just meant to go viral.
According to the caption, the plane that is placed on a seaside cliff and will be hill turned into a tourist attraction for more people to come and visit.
“@koming.darmawan exploring this retired Boeing aircraft that’s been placed on a seaside cliff. It’s to be turned into a tourist accommodation near Nyang-Nyang beach in Uluwatu Badung Regency,” reads the caption of the post.
People have been left divided over the to-be tourist attraction, while some called it an adrenaline-fuelled adventure, others called it a dose of anxiety.
“That’s incredible,” one user commented.
“That’s my next destination. It looks fun,” another user commented.
“A dumb thing to do. Risking your life for nothing,” a third user added.
“My knees went weak watching him go to the end!” another added.
Another commented, “I have So much anxiety watching him walk out on that wing!”
Last year, a video went viral showing a daredevil jumping between two high-rise buildings in Gold Coast, Australia.
In the video shot by onlookers, the man can be seen warming up. He then tries to judge how far he has to leap and how much elevation he needs to make it safely across.
The man then walks to the other edge of the roof – and after a few more minutes of loosening his limbs takes off for his leap of faith.
After a short pause, the daredevil runs towards the edge and makes a big jump – just making it to the building opposite. After making it across, he rolls along the rooftop a few times, but he seems unharmed.
The man runs around the roof of the building back to where he started to celebrate his stunt with his friend.
Onlookers filming the hair-raising moment exclaimed, “Oh, my God, he made it.”
“Only just,” another behind the camera says.
