Police have been enraged by a wave of death on social platforms, when foolish young people run to the top of a tower crane or skyscraper to make dangerous moves.
The brainless young men, known as the "rooftop climber (roofers)," know well about the dangers and that if they are in trouble, rescuers will have to come and save them, but they don`t care.
"not only do you put your lives in danger, you will also commit an invasion of a private house and you may face prosecution," a police spokesman said.
Hundreds of photos have appeared on Australian social platforms, showing young people sitting on the edge of a skyscraper building with their legs suspended, or hanging on the edge, or half-leaning out to make an extraordinary move.
The deadly frenzy killed 20-year-old American student Connor Cummings from the four Seasons Hotel in New York in December, even as he posed for photographs.
A Sydney rooftop climber told the media, "it`s definitely going to take the risk of breaking into a private house to get that kind of picture," a Sydney rooftop climber told the media. If I fall down, it will affect everyone I see. I always think so. "
The bold young man said he didn`t want to be famous, but minor psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg said it was a frightening search for internet fame. "these kids are accelerators without brakes," he said. They were all chasing the perfect thing, stimulated by people like Kardashian. This is part of the culture of today`s young people. "
The president of the New State Police Association, Scott Weber, said the pursuit of online fame was "a disturbing new trend."
"these stupid people not only put their lives at risk, but also others, including those who have to go to the scene," he said.
Opposition police spokesman Guy Gzangari said that "it`s not worth the risk of giving likes on Instagram or Facebook. That picture could kill you."
