We can all find fault in someone apparently doing something stupid, but in this case there was another angle on this story. Read this:

Now also consider that many tens of thousands go mountaineering up some of the most dangerous mountains in the World. Some even do that without any ropes, harnesses, or even spikes, but just by using their fingertips, and all just for fun!!. Then there are steeplejacks who, yes earn money from what they do, but daily climb great heights to go on the sides or tops of man made structures. Think of one of my heroes from the past, Fred Dibnah, who would be seen climbing great chimneys, with the next ladder on his back, without any safety harnesses. As a reminder of what he did (and this was when he was already 50 years of age) view this film (remember the ladders would have already been tied to the chimney by Fred, once again without any safety aids):

So before any of us criticize the Chinese lad at the start of this thread, think about the fact tens of thousands do dangerous things daily, and in this case for his dear mother. In my book, nothing wrong in that. Just very sad in this instance he got what he normally does so wrong.
