I’m not sure how they got the name “human fly” for this guy climbing Trump Tower. It appears he was using suction cups for his climbing device, so maybe a name like “Suction Cup Boy” would work better. Also, I’m not sure of his motive—but I’m sure it was super important. Whatever the reason for this crazy Gecko Man stunt (that’s what I’m going to call him), there’s still some cool science here.
