Crazy f@gs. But cool.

If one looks at the pictures, there is safety gear involved. I was thinking a parachute, bur instead it is a secondary rope that is hooked to a halter of some sort on his ankle.

I was expecting he would be wearing a parachute just in case. I was wrong. Totally nuts.

People do this stuff and, you know, good for them. But when these things go tragically wrong, I don’t shed a tear. What do they expect? They’ll probably just keep doing dangerous stuff until *AHEM* they can’t.

So, was it a tightrope or a slackline.

Why does this remind me of bread and circuses in Roman times.

And pole sitting, barrels over Niagara, etc during the great depression?

Only someone with a huge pair of cajones that lowers their center of gravity would try this stunt.

Just because you can, does not mean you should...

I sure as hell wouldn’t do it. Even with a safety harness. But I’m glad people do. And all the naysayers should get over themselves. This is the kind of stuff that reminds people to strive, to push, to do something awesome. It’s the spirit that all our great inventions and art come from. Crapping on that is just jealousy.

They are wearing face masks in some photos in the baskets on the ground and none in others when in the air. That is daredevil stuff.
