Darby Allin, known for his daring exploits inside and outside the wrestling ring, has once again pushed the limits with a hazardous crane stunt. This recent feat involved Allin being launched into the air from a crane by a sumo wrestler, highlighting the extreme nature of what fans have come to expect from him.
Throughout his career, Allin has demonstrated an unmatched fearlessness. He recently scaled Mount Everest and swam with sharks for Shark Week, before returning to his wrestling commitments with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Despite already taking on such perilous challenges, he recently shared footage on Instagram demonstrating a new adrenaline-fueled stunt where he was zipped inside a body bag atop a giant inflatable on the water, then propelled into the air by a sumo wrestler jumping from a crane.
The body bag spun multiple times during its flight before splashing into the sea, yet fortunately, there have been no reports of injury to Allin following the stunt. This event adds another bold chapter to his reputation as one of AEW’s most audacious stars.

Looking Ahead: Darby Allin’s Aspirations Beyond Wrestling
Despite the intense stunts and physical challenges he has already accomplished, Darby Allin has expressed ambitions that extend far beyond these feats. Recently speaking on the Steve-O podcast Wilde Ride, he revealed a desire to slow down and find balance in his life after conquering extreme adventures like Everest and shark swimming.
He explained that after his Everest ascent, he made a conscious decision to pause and appreciate the moment rather than continuously pursue increasingly dangerous challenges. Yet, he also shared a lofty goal for the future — to travel to space.
“I’m literally stopping and smelling the roses right now. I just want to be focused on being as grounded as possible. I do want to go to space. As I got down [from Everest], I made it a point to myself, ‘I’m not going to try and fill this void with x amount of crazy stuff.’ I was like, ‘Stop and smell the fu**ing roses.” – Darby Allin
This insight into his mindset reveals a matured perspective balancing risk-taking with mindfulness. Fans of Allin will undoubtedly watch closely to see which daring adventures or new frontiers he will explore next.
