The clip cuts to him doing a hand stand and almost tipping over the edge before he catches his balance – as his friends look concerned.

Video: Scary moment daredevil does handstands on top of buildings

In one terrifying clip, the daredevil walks on his hands on the narrow edge, does push up and even somersaults.

Mr Tenni, a professional parkour athlete and student at Mohammed V University in Rabat, claims he almost died filming the video.

He says: ‘When I was trying to master the handstand on the edge of the building, the wind picked up.

‘It nearly knocked me off the edge but luckily I stabilised myself. It was really scary.

‘I know that if I make a mistake during my stunts I will die and no one would be able to help me.’

Mr Tenni has been doing parkour since 2012 and loves using rooftops as his playground.

He said: ‘I feel free when I’m jumping around rooftops and I love to do crazy things.

‘I was adventurous from a young age and, to me, fear is nothing. It can be terrifying if you stop to think about it though.

‘Now parkour is my passion and I feel the adrenaline running through me every time I do it.’

The skilled stuntman trains up to eight hours a day and practices on rooftops because there is not a gym near him.

He said: ‘It takes a lot of training, and I practice for eight hours a day.

‘There isn’t a gym where I live so I will train on the roof, in the street or on the beach doing pull-ups, chin-ups and squats.

‘Using the rooftops and streets helps to develop my muscles. Plus they are free and always open.’

Some of his crazy stunts include monkey push-ups around a roof without any safety equipment, jumping from one building to another and front flips.

But despite the obvious dangers, Mr Tenni says he’s been lucky and has only suffered a few minor injuries.

He adds: ‘These can be death-defying stunts but the feeling of freedom is worth it.

‘I’m lucky to have never been seriously injured.

‘I’ve broken my finger when landing from a jump.

‘I plan my stunts in advance and every day I aim to achieve a new move, such as backflips.

‘Not only do you do amazing things with your body, but you also break mental barriers and look at the world around you so much differently.’

And Mr Tenni has no plans to stop there as he will film himself jumping across the rooftops with a GoPro strapped to his head.
