Only fools and horses! are you not suspicious as to why caught on camera. More likely set up.
There are people in this world who now "think" that filming things is as natural as breathing.
Also the clip starts with the madness well advanced - it is quite conceivable that someone saw what was going on and decided to film it. Maybe it was their property and they foresaw the possibility of needing to make a claim for damage...
If it was a setup I hope the guy was an experienced stunt man - that was one hell of a fall...

This would be my best guess as well. Clearly a precarious setup, so the outcome isn't hard to spot as filmworthy.

I once had to use the accident book at work, when i read the previous entry, the bloke said whilst he was putting up a light in a corridor , the light he had just finished putting up fell down and hit him on the head, what a muppet.
I recall a fitting that was being put up on a half-landing on a site about ten years ago, I was coming down the stairs, the fitting that had been fixed up but not wired fell on my head, I half caught it, stood it up against the wall, continued down the stairs, told the first chap I met that I've just been struck by Lighting 
and then set off to find who was responsible for the fitting that was no longer on the ceiling, it didn't take long to track him down, I soon bumped into him hurrying back with some longer screws!
