Heavy rainfall recently flooded the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. People all across the city needed rescuing, including a man who was swept down a local road along with his motorbike. Thankfully, some helpful bystanders got the man to safety, but wow — Mother Nature can be shocking.

Do you know what else is pretty shocking? Purposefully dangling from an eleventh-story balcony...for a photo op. Surely it goes without saying how dangerous (not to mention, unnecessary!) a stunt like this is, but in case anyone else is thinking about "doing it for the 'gram" — let us be the first to say: Please don't.
