Only Jesus possessed that glorious strength, holiness, power and righteousness. His blood shed for us is the only "cross" experience we need and that happened one time for all time. This guy's behavior detracts from it because it is him doing the sacrifice.
Did that help?
Generally, I agree with you.
This type of stunt smacks too much of today's weakened Christianity where many practice a form of Christianity that is more form than substance.
I do take issue with your statement "But the Scriptures make it clear, the requirements for men to take up a cross and follow Jesus was not something anyone could actually do."
I'd like to know how you scripturally support that idea?

Look up the word “ metaphor”. The Bible is full of them.
