In a video that begins with a stunt similar to Kevin McCallister’s sled ride down his family home’s stairs in the [classic Christmas movie](https://time.com/5047224/best-christmas-movies/), a kid can be seen hurtling down a set of concrete steps in what else but a [kayak](https://time.com/5388840/jennifer-garner-explains-kayak-sweden-jimmy-fallon/). The now-viral clip, which was recently posted on the short-form video app TikTok by user RobloxGamer69, then transitions into shots of the same young man performing two more death-defying kayak stunts. The first involves him balancing on a swing while sitting in the Kayak, which only lasts for a second before the kayak falls forward. And the second, the most dangerous of the three by far, sees him plunge down a playground slide from the top of the the slide overhang. The montage is even set to a flute version of Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” for added dramatic effect. Definitely don’t try this at home, kids. But watch the video below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5703341/kayaking-down-stairs-tiktok/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5703341/kayaking-down-stairs-tiktok/"},"headline":"Kid Hurtles Down Concrete Steps to Make Getting Around More Adventurous","datePublished":"2019-10-17T15:25:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:00:54.408Z","description":"Don't try this at home","url":"https://time.com/5703341/kayaking-down-stairs-tiktok/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","tiktok"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt32afbc5c663894bc/698a046f4ee2627b66316715/kayak-tiktok.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt32afbc5c663894bc/698a046f4ee2627b66316715/kayak-tiktok.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Kayak-TikTok","caption":"","creditText":"Marc Mcdermott/EyeEm—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5703341/kayaking-down-stairs-tiktok/","name":"Kid Hurtles Down Concrete Steps to Make Getting Around More Adventurous"}}]}] ```
