If you hook on, doesnt look like the cameraman is bothering with such things as safety measures.

It looks safer than actual mountain climbing. If you're a sure footed type and not going to be a typical Brit tourist and do it after ten beers and a chorizo pizza you'll be fine I think.

unless the 100yr old 75mm thick concrete slab disintergrates benieth your feet. Those bits where he's on the metal edge then jumps onto the cracked concrete left me feeling sick.

Reading the wiki page, it was an accepted tourist attraction until 2000 when 2 people fell to thier deaths - great holiday that must have been. Its since been closed but is proposed to have a total reconstruction starting this year.
