Wallenda Finishes Grand Canyon Tightrope Walk

And this time without a safety harness. Next up Empire State to Chrysler apparently. He continues the tradition of his family.

The only difference as Nik Wallenda put it so succinctly – he’d have 9 seconds to think about it as he fell – a lot less from 100 feet.

You have to admit he’s got some bottle. But it’s all relative. Fall at 100, fall at 1500. Same outcome.
Did you see the program about the guy who did it between the twin towers. That was pretty awesome too.

His grandfather, Karl, died walking a tightrope at the age of 73, I think and only fell because the ropes and guys etc were poorly effected and not overseen by the family. So perhaps he has a few more years yet….
