VIDEO: Daredevil unicyclist cheats death to cycle along 166m dam in Romania

A daredevil extreme unicyclist has been filmed riding the top of a dam in high winds, with a 166m drop to one side.

Flaviu Cernescu, a 31-year-old Romanian took on the Vidraru, the tallest dam in his country in a clip released by Watch's World's Most Talented.

With a crowd watching, he wobbles along the precipice overlooking the huge drop.

His relief as he reaches the other side is obvious to see.

Flaviu said: “I love unicycling at high altitude and I have had this dream to do this at the Vidraru dam for quite some time now.

"The drop on the dam is 166 metres, so if I fall off unless I grow wings on the way down, there is no chance of survival.

"I have a fear of heights but I wanted to overcome it, so today is about facing my fears.”

Presenter Laura Jackson said: “I honestly don’t know how he can do this. I can’t even look down without feeling sick.

"You know there are those things that are quite dangerous and funny, but this isn’t one of those. This is just scary.”
