not to mention it should be against the law to call that a rope.. thing was as wide as his foot and didnt bend, sway or move at all... and the stick hes got is being supported by his shoulders.. so much fail. its sad

It's the family business. Publicity and self promotion is how they make there money. It's the circus. Barnum and Bailey etc.

I met the guy on the beach one day. No idea who he was until he said his last name. Most of the Wallenda's are from Sarasota. Most of the circus performers use to winter in Sarasota until the roads were safe to travel up north after the winter.

He either wore the safety harness or he couldn't walk about the falls. These guys at this level don't want a harness messing up their balance.

Perhaps I'm just desensitized by outdoor videos, but I don't really understand why this is getting all the attention it is.

Dude, watch the video of his grandfather plummeting to his death I posted earlier!

No tether, no net.....live. anything could happen

This will probably be more interesting than watching NASCAR; not much more though.

Some of these people think this is easy!

1/4 mile walk above a canyon where the cross winds could easily blow his ass off the wire.

Hell I can't even complete a field sobriety test.

The reasons for watching this and watching NASCAR are pretty much the same.

Move along people, nothing to see here. They just admitted there is a paramedic team stationed on the canyon floor.

"No tether. No net. Failure likely fatal."

No shit? It's only 1,500 feet.

Is he dead yet?

Wanna search for the video if he's dead.

2 hours and 20 mins long... when is he actually suppose to do this shit? Don't want to watch bullshit for an hour and a half if hes gonna do it at the end.

If its anything like here they will wait until closer to dusk so that the winds are more calm.

I have nothing against the guy, but at the same time it would be kind of cool if a bird hit him partway through.
