Heavy snowfalls result in plenty of opportunities for fun - sledging, snowfights, skiing - but when you've exhausted all these options, what's left to do? Apparently set yourself on fire.

A Russian 'daredevil' uploaded a number of videos to YouTube showing him setting himself on fire and jumping off the top of an apartment building.

In a stunt that we wouldn't recommend recreating, he spends a few seconds letting the flames build up before leaping off the edge and into a snow pile, where he sits for a while, understandably a bit shaken up.

A version filmed by a GoPro atop his head can be found here.
