    why would anyone care about this?

    he'll be attached to a safety cable so he wont die if he falls. wheres the danger and suspense in that?

    saw a bit on TV about this

    apparently the u.s. networks only agreed to cover it if he wore a harness and the special shoes or whatever

    he wanted to do it without a harness

    guy is whining about how no one in Niagara wants to support his shit financially, that he's bringing so much attn to the area, etc.

    hope he falls on his second step.

    Bovada has the o/u on time to complete the walk at 40 mins. Under should be free money. Horribly low limits though.

    That Karl dude was 73!

    In 1978, at age 73, Wallenda attempted a walk between the two towers of the ten-story*Condado Plaza Hotel*in*San Juan, Puerto Rico, on a wire stretched 37 metres (121*ft) above the pavement, but fell to his death when winds exceeded 48 kilometres per hour (30 miles per hour). The Wallenda family attributes the tragedy to "several misconnected guide ropes along the wire" and not the windy conditions
    .

    I saw a man fall 200ft to his death once. It was a horrible feeling witnessing it.

    he can take the harness off if he wants/hinders him, but under contract he has to start off wearing it.

    rumor is he'll do something gay like stop mid-way and make a phone call to seem cocky, then probably fall in.

    if he unhooks the tether, abc will terminate the broadcast.


    ABC, the television network that will broadcast the event with a five-second delay, has insisted he wear a safety tether - a first for the performer - that will connect him to the cable should he fall, and will stop broadcasting if he unhooks it.

    that's fine, but it's been stated that HE CAN take it off, I still don't know that ABC will definitely pull it, would they really turn all those viewers away?

    he can unhook it and do a head dive into the water if he wants but abc wont broadcast it.

    guarantee he wont unhook it. all these clowns dream about being famous and being seen all over the world. he is the lakerboy of daredevils.

    under 40 minutes cashes

    seriously tho that was awful, nothing suspenseful about it with the harness, they should have let him not wear one and had it on a minute delay and cut it if he fell
