YouTuber's London Tower Bridge jump 'goes wrong'

LONDON, July 23 (UPI) -- A YouTuber celebrated reaching 25,000 subscribers by jumping off the London Tower Bridge for a stunt he admits "goes wrong" in several ways.

Shah Faisal Shinwari, who posted the video of the stunt to his YouTube account under the handle Carnage, said one of his subscribers dared him to face his fear of heights by jumping from the London Tower Bridge to the River Thames and he decided to carry out the stunt to mark reaching the milestone of 25,000 subscribers.

The video shows Shinwari jump over the edge before switching to a second angle that shows him hit the water. He appears to have some trouble swimming against the river's current and can be heard shouting for help.

The video does not show how Shinwari got out of the water, but he is seen appearing to clutch his ribs in pain while being tended to by paramedics.

The video ends with Shinwari in a hospital warning viewers not to attempt to repeat his stunt.

The description says the jump "went wrong" in several ways, including:

- Swallowed lots of dirty water

- Internal Drowning

Shinwari said in a comment the jump was "For real the stupidest idea I have ever done."
