The adrenaline rush of taking a selfie in a place you shouldn’t be taking a selfie, welcome to the Best Of Dangerous Selfie Fails.

There’s people out there who chase the rush, who dare to do the things ordinary people wouldn’t dare to do. And for what, to take a selfie that puts their life in danger but the end result is normally a very unique selfie.

1. This might be the most dangerous selfie ever taken

Three friends ate some bananas on top of Hong Kong’s fifth-tallest skyscraper, just so they could capture one of the craziest selfies ever.

Three friends in Hong Kong took extreme eating to new heights in August 2014. But instead of just trying to shove as many pieces of food into their mouths as possible, photographers Daniel Lau, Andrew Tso, and A.S. went bananas by consuming, well, actual bananas atop Hong Kong’s fifth-tallest skyscraper.

Since they’re photographers, Lau brought along a selfie stick to document what might be the most dangerous selfie ever taken. The camera was fitted with a wide-angle lens to capture footage of Hong Kong sure to make even the strongest of stomachs a bit queasy. We’re not sure how they got there, but the crew sat atop the spire of The Centre skyscraper, which stands about 1,135 feet high. It all goes to show that to pull off crazy stunts, you probably need to be a little bananas.
