    Why is he doing this? he's a performer/daredevil.

    He has had a lot of practice...I'm sure he will be ok...

    That's the craziest stunt ever. Does discovery want to be responsible for showing the national audience his death.

    yeah guy has to wear Jeans from Sears for this walk instead of yoga pants due to those huge balls.

    if he wore yoga pants he'd be met at the other side of the Canyon by a swat team to arrest him for vulgar indecency
