Simply Amazing harness or not. His great grand father I believe died walking across 2 hotels in Puerto Rico in the early 70's. Fell 10 stories to his death

Not really. The reason why it hasn't been done before is all about the logistics. I'm sure a number of tightrope walkers are capable of doing it, and would love the oppurtunity.

Ok fine, but you suggested that others couldn't do it because of the difficulty of the walk itself, which isn't true.

The guy walked across Niagara Falls on tight rope. Are we really debating the stones necessary or whether it's lame because others might be able to do it? Who cares if there was a harness? You get up there and do it. This board goes crazy when there're no Knicks on, huh?
