Saint Petersburg, Russia - Regular bungee jumping wasn't enough for this Russian dare devil.

The young man instead chose to risk his life in a crazy stunt, the Daily Mail reported.

He had four metal hooks implanted in his buttocks. Assistants attached a bungee cord to the piercings, which he then used to jump off the roof of a 50-foot building!

The whole thing was captured on video, and another bystander took photos of the strange scene.

User Aid Adow posted the pictures and video on his VK account (the Russian version of Facebook) on March 13, writing that the incident occurred about two weeks prior.

The post explained the motivations behind the stunt: "This Saint Petersburg extremist wanted to feel the whole range of existing pain sensations."

Was Aid Adow aware he was risking his life?

Adov screamed like crazy when he jumped. Things certainly turned out well for the young man, all things considered.

After all, the fastenings might have torn – which could have led to his death.

The Russian either wasn't aware of how much he was risking, or he didn't care. Aid Adov claimed on his VK page that he was the first in Russia to have dared the stunt, but only the second in the world.

Since that seemed to be his only concern, his fans can probably expect more dare-devil material from the danger-seeker in the future.

If Aid Adow's next stunt is as dangerous as the first, he may be in for some real pain – no butts about it!
