However, two weeks ago Sherstyachenko posted a video of his most death-defying stunt yet.

For the 20-second clip, the Russian climbed to the 43rd floor of Dubai’s Sofitel hotel before leaping between five pillars situated hundreds of metres above Dubai’s marina area, without the help of a safety harness.

Speaking to the Mail Online, following the stunt: Oleg said: 'I was not afraid to do this because at the height I feel like a bird in the air. I just enjoy life, just live, and do video and pictures for other people.'
