A YouTube prankster admitted he was 'really stupid' to have jumped off Tower Bridge as a dare after almost drowning.
Shah Faisal Shinwari, who is known as Carnage on the site, leapt off the bridge and hit the Thames 40ft below as part of a dare from a subscriber which went horribly wrong.
The 17-year-old budding actor said 'there were about six ways he could have died' and said that when he hit the water, he couldn't move and believed he was going to die.
The teenager had to be plucked from the water by the RNLI, which relies on charity donations to keep going.
He posted the clipon the video sharing site, where he has almost 30,000 subscribers, with the caption: 'I attempted it as I like doing crazy s***.'
Today, the teenager from London, said: 'Basically it was a dare from one of my subscribers. It was a really stupid idea and I wouldn't recommend anyone try to do it.
'Yeah I would definitely think about giving a donation to the RNLI to thank them.
'One of them contacted me on Twitter and asked whether I'd like to work with them on a promotional project to see if we can make something positive out of this and prevent other people doing the same thing.'
When asked whether he thought uploading the video to his channe lwas irresponsible he said: 'No, I am sure that it is not irresponsible and that people won't try and copy it.
'There are a lot of people doing stuff like that, like me, and now hopefully they will see it and really how stupid it was.
'There were about six ways I could have died. When I first hit the water I felt like I couldn't move and I thought I was going to die.
'I am 100 per cent sure people won't try and copy it.'
Tony Wafer, RNLI Community Safety Manager said Mr Shinwari was 'extremely lucky'.
He added: 'As a lifesaving organisation that works on the Thames in London, we are extremely disappointed that this young man chose to risk his life in this way.
'He was extremely lucky that the outcome wasn't more serious.
We're glad that this young man regrets his actions, however we would strongly discourage anyone from doing anything like this.
'Jumping into the Thames from a bridge is extremely dangerous - the shock of cold water make it very difficult to swim and strong currents can rapidly sweep people away.'
