That's No Moon Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 I wouldn't do this nor would I watch this. It's not 1885. 1 1
KD in CA Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 The one that is still astounding is Philippe Petit in the ‘70s between the twin towers. 110 stories up, no safety, and in a windy spot. 1 1

I just know of the Niagara Falls one and he had a harness there I believe. As much I'd want to say if you're dumb enough to do this for attention you deserve it, but I'm just giving him a hard time. I probably couldn't do it two feet off the ground so there is some skill involved regardless.

There are lots of things that require skill it doesn't mean they are good entertainment. Backgammon for example takes skill. I'm not watching a backgammon tournament. I'd imagine playing the bongos with your testicles also takes skill but I'm not super interested in watching that either. 1

I totally agree. I was just trying to be less harsh than my original post.

eball Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 I flipped by the channel for this and saw that charlatan Osteen praising Jesus and immediately vomited, then changed the channel.

He didn't want to wear the harness for the walk over the falls but the networks made him or they wouldn't televise it. He fought it but they told him since it's live they couldn't risk having him plummet to his death on live tv. The insurance companies covering the entire event also wouldn't cover it unless he had the harness, without insurance covering the entire event, no place is going to allow him to do the event in their location. All of his televised ones he has to wear a harness. It's nice to see that it's ok to wish someone die or get seriously injured doing a daredevil stunt is cool, but cheering for an injury at a sporting event makes you a vile disgusting piece of trash......

Alex Honnold has been a guest on Joe Rogan's podcast twice now, and both are great listens. The first in particular was one of the better Rogan podcasts I've experienced to date. He's a really interesting, unique person.
