A daredevil's incredible point of view video of himself scaling a giant crane and hanging off it with one hand is going viral.

More than 110,000 people have watched thrillseeker James Kingston's video of his climb at Southampton docks.

It shows his entire death-defying ascent, performed without any visible safety equipment.

Filmed using on a GoPro camera attached to his head for the most part, the daredevil successfully managed to reposition his camera to capture some of the most dangerous parts of his climb.

And it ends with the heart stopping moment when Mr Kingston hangs from the top of a crane - hundreds of feet up - and then lets go with one hand.

Explaining why he did it, and anticipating criticism from health and safety experts, he said: "I didn't go up there to die. I went up there to live."
