lost his life after falling from a skyscraper in Changsha, capital of Hunan province, while making a selfie video in a bid to win a 100,000 yuan prize.
The Beijing Internet Court ruled on Tuesday that Huajiao, one of several apps that Wu used to promote his daring exploits, should bear “minor responsibility” for the accident,As an internet service provider, the Beijing-based company was partly responsible for its users’ safety, the court said.
Born in 1991 in Hunan, Wu worked as extra in the film industry before making a living by rooftopping, which involves people standing atop, or sometimes dangling from the edges of, high buildings, antenna and other precarious places. He was best known for scaling tall buildings without any safety equipment, relying only on his “martial arts training and careful planning”, according to one of his posts on Weibo, China’s Twitter-like service.
