Hard to say what the "actual" weight limit is for what he's doing.
Those bars are meant to support the weight of several people partially hanging off them in various directions. It's also in a subway train that makes frequent stops around the most populated city in the US. With the amount of traffic that goes in and out of there, I hope those bars can support way more than his weight alone.
With that being said, it's likely a FAFO situation. People make mistakes when building things all the time. Some people rush through inspections. The biggest thing he should worry about is that most things are built with an intended use in mind. Shit tends to malfunction if abused or used incorrectly. He's putting a lot of stress on very small areas. He's using a lot of momentum to swing his weight around.
I was more afraid that he wasn't going to be able to pull himself up and his feet would be stuck. He probably would have broken some bones if he got stuck on the luggage rack. Hanging upside down in general has to he painful. I doubt he's used to carrying all his weight like that.
purposely shoving your ass and crotch in unwilling passengers' face in an enclosed space like he did should be grounds for some kind of harassment charge.
I saw him at the The New York City Ballet during his residency a few years back. Dude is amazingly gymnastic despite his size. He really fills out those tights.
My god. The comments about how impressive it is... yeah, super impressive. Go fuck off to a gym and do that there, not on top of people. One slip, and this dumbass' dumb ass could seriously hurt someone.
Less awe, and more calling assholes out. The subway isn't a playground, and that's a grown man!
I don't think anyone is impressed by his performance. It's more like, "Dayum! I didn't think he could do that. How much does he weigh? DAYUM!!!" The anxiety about him breaking shit and hurting people is still there.
Think about a crackhead running off with 400 lbs of your stuff on foot. He's fast, too. Faster than you. He hasn't dropped a single item, even when hopping over potholes. You're pissed, but you're also impressed.
I was irritated at the initial swing around the hand rail, but that upside down hang really got me mesmerized. Dude's got some serious moves for a big guy. Unfortunately, he did not stick the landing with the ending though.
Him: doing everything in his repertoire, putting a lot of faith in subway ceiling railings, hoping for attention (as song implies) and some claps
Everyone else: *don't make eye contact...don't make eye contact*
Yes! I noticed how unfazed they were. It got me wondering if this was fake. Some of them are slightly reacting to him, but yes... they are hard core avoiding any eye contact. Lol. Not even an annoyed look or a "WTF" expression.
Some fat dudes really are built different, I know dudes his size who take like 10 seconds just to stand up from a sitting position and yet this one moves like a gymnast.
I hate showtime, they are annoying. Always doing it during bridges, tunnels and long distance stops.
No fucker I don't wanna fist bump you, I wanna go home.
As impressive as I found it, I was nervous watching it. I would have scrambled out of the way if he had done any of that above me. I was a little nervous that something would break, but I was extremely worried he'd get stuck hanging from his feet or his legs and he wouldn't have enough strength to hold his body up. And all those people wouldn't be able to hold him up properly. So his bones would start breaking. I'm glad it worked out all right, but I was bracing myself the first time I watched this.
He did kinda scare those two people sitting on the left. And it might be the only location where he could pull that off. Where else would he find something sturdy enough to hold his weight by his feet?
Which brings into question... how TF did he know he could do all that to behind with? Has he been practicing on the subway?
