\u201cBritish Spider-Man\u201d arrested after scaling Eiffel Tower during Olympics TikTok: dailymailThough he has over 13 years of experience as a professional climber, Louis Davis, also known as the \u201cBritish Spider-Man,\u201d was arrested after scaling the Eiffel Tower without a harness or rope. Louis Davis, AKA the \u201cBritish Spider-Man,\u201d pulled off the ultimate Tom Cruise move by scaling the Eiffel Tower before the closing ceremony at the Olympics on Sunday, August 11. Though he\u2019s a trained stunt coordinator, professional climber, and has worked in the entertainment biz, Louis wasn\u2019t given permission to climb on the iron girders \u2013 especially without a harness or rope. Despite his stunt being bold, Louis was arrested after he made his way down from standing atop the blue Olympic ring. \u201cBloody warm, isn\u2019t it!\u201d the stuntman said as the police escorted him away. At this time, Louis is facing a year in jail for \u201cendangering the lives of others.\u201d He will also have to pay a fine of over $16K. Being that the perimeter of the Eiffel Tower had to be evacuated during his climb, he might face a harsher sentence, as the area was even more crowded due to the Olympics. \u201cHe was arrested at 2.45pm and handcuffed by police. He was heading towards the second floor when he was stopped by specialist climbing police\u2026 He is cooperating with the authorities,\u201d shared an investigative source. This isn\u2019t his first stunt, though. The \u201cBritish Spider-Man\u201d has also climbed the \u201cCheesegrater\u201d building in London. He\u2019s even worked directly with Mission Impossible\u2019s Tom Cruise and The Terminator\u2019s Arnold Schwarzenegger. Stated on his official website, Louis explained what his mission was during his professional climbing journey. \u201cI believe that fear is the primary barrier to growth. My mission is to help others overcome their fears, build resilience, and unlock their true potential,\u201d he wrote. He also described his personal story: \u201cBeyond the screen, I\u2019m a rope access supervisor with over 13 years of experience in high-risk environments and now a professional climber. Known for free soloing skyscrapers.\u201d Fortunately, Louis was able to make it down on two feet despite his arrest. French daredevil Remi Lucidi wasn\u2019t so lucky, though. In July 2023, Remi died after he fell while climbing a 721 ft skyscraper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
