As Chicago revels in the Cubs' first World Series title since 1908, fans are going to absurd heights to celebrate.

A new trend has emerged amid the rowdiness. Folks are climbing onto city structures -- streetlights, statues, etc. -- and throwing themselves into the arms of fellow Cubs fans.

It's the ultimate trust fall.
