I’d be wrapped around that wire so tight you would need WD-40 to slide me across it.

Well, in case something happens, the broadcast is probably going to be shown on a few second delay. I can’t explain why people do stunts like this but I guess there’s a risk taker mentality in all of us. Of course for most of us it’s not at this level.

I watched his grandpa die live on TV back in the 70s in Puerto Rico. I don’t wish to watch him die. So I won’t watch him.

If he makes it, repeat IF, he’ll just keep pushing the envelope until he doesn’t make it.

Have seen too many bad things happen out of the blue, won't watch a planned bad thing, getting old I guess.

Hope and pray he makes it.

I doubt I will watch. I am petrified of heights and do not want to see anyone fall. I hope they do a few second delay. I just cannot believe there is not some sort of safety precautions.
