This Snowmobile Is Speeding Toward The Edge Of A 4,900-Foot Cliff. The Reason Why Is Insane!

This epic video will have you wondering, "who even came up with this idea?"

The clip begins with a man getting set up on top of his snowmobile, he shows you a rather odd contraption that he's attached to it at the :20 second mark, but nothing too crazy.

Some music plays as he and his team get prepped for something big that's about to happen. It doesn't seem to be an upcoming race, even though he's using a high-performance snowmobile. Also, not a whole lot of races take place on the snowy peaks of Riksgränsen, Sweden. It's a beautiful country, and wonderful place to go on vacation, but I've never heard of anything huge happening there.

It seems like all the movement could easily cause an avalanche, like what happened to these poor guys, but luckily that doesn't seem to be the case on this day.

Suddenly, the video takes a bizarre turn: The stunt rider, Antti Pendikainen, revs up his engine and starts hurtling toward the edge of a cliff. He seems intent on falling off said cliff in an insane act of defiance. He goes faster and faster, the camera shaking as his speed hits its highest. 

And then the driver sends his beautiful Ski-Doo off the cliff… It's a 4,900-foot drop that would end in certain death. But luckily the stunt man shows off one little skill he's got hidden under his sleeve.

The video is definitely worth the watch if you like the idea of other people risking their lives for your entertainment…and let us assure you, this video is entertaining — albeit absolutely insane!
