NextImg:I’m a daredevil doing ‘irresponsible’ stunts without a safety harness: ‘Chills’

He’s on top of the world — err, skyscraper.

A self-proclaimed daredevil has become a social media sensation after his death-defying stunts have gone viral.

Carlos Rengifo, 29, regularly shares his treacherous tricks online for hundreds of thousands of viewers, racking up more than 20,000 followers on Instagram — many of whom are often left speechless.

Rengifo, who began practicing the stunts as a teen, claims to be the first Venezuelan to capture his own antics atop sky-high buildings without so much as a safety harness.

His content includes clips of Rengifo dangling or balancing on building ledges and one video even showed the stuntman launching into a backflip on a precarious cement platform.

He also flaunts his handstand skills on hazardous edifice and other stomach-churning stunts atop perilous structures.

“I never thought to inspire many people. Nowadays it is a reality,” the Caracas, Venezuela, creator told The Post, vowing to continue his bold pursuits to inspire others to “face their fears.”

In a clip with more than 74,000 views, the daredevil bikes along the ledge of a tall building, teetering many stories above the trees, leaving viewers stunned.

Last year,  Alexis Landot scaled the Tour Franklin, a 400-foot glass skyscraper in Paris, totally barefoot.

In only a T-shirt and jean shorts — and no safety gear — the 22-year-old stuntman ascended the edifice in just 35 minutes.

“I’m somebody who likes to take risks, and I know the risks that I take in my life,” he previously told Kennedy News. “That’s why I like this so much, as I can anticipate the risks and control them.”
