It must be fun being a professional daredevil; one would only hope the job comes with great health coverage. Or in the case of hairless orangutan/stunter James Kingston, a life-insurance policy.

The British builderer, who we last met hanging by one hand from a construction crane above nighttime Los Angeles, has upped his game. He's still hanging by one hand from a construction crane, but he's doing it in the light of day and in the alluring, tropical city of Bangalore, India. It's hard to tell how high up he is, but it seems to be the tallest structure in the area: The urban landscape below looks made of those teeny plastic Monopoly buildings.
