[Archived] Tight Rope Walking Wallenda

[Audax]

Links if one did not hear about this http://news.msn.com/pop-culture/aerialist-walks-across-quarter-mile-span-in-arizona?ocid=ansnews11 . Totally ridiculous to me. When he walked Niagara Falls, he was on a harness, here you see the little wheelie thing following him.

But walking across the Grand Canyon, he did not have a harness, maybe he was able not to use one because it was on "Tribal Land" or an Indian Reservation with different laws but I don't know this for sure. He did this to raise funds for the Navajo Nation, charity.

To me, this is absolutely nuts, I couldn't watch it, one mistep and you die.

The pole weighs about 43 pounds. But you can see, for that, he has it harnessed on somewhat.

Remember watching documentaries on the wallendas years ago when Karl was still around. Really exciting to watch
