Daredevil Nik Wallenda does the incredible

Hey guys, you'll never guess where I was today..

It was crazy in person, crowd was crazy. That guy has balls of steel, I mean, it was windy as hell and that cable had to be slippery.

He had a harness. Im not impressed.


Also, correct me if im wrong, but haven't people preformed crazier stunts there before?

He didn't want the harness, but he was forced to wear it. Walking over Niagara Falls is illegal anyways, and it took him 2 years to finally convince the US and Canadian gov't to allow it. Also, considering his history, he didn't need the harness.

And yes there has been crazier, but it doesn't have to be the "craziest" to be impressive. I guarantee no one here on this site would have the guts to do anything close to that.

As long as I had a harness I would attempt it, obviously I would probably fall but I have no fear of heights so it would not be a big deal mentally dawg.

People can surprise you Erik.

Also, I know most of the details. Yes, he didn't fall, nor did he need the harness due to his history, however the fact that he had one made it a lot less spectacular due to there not really being any danger.

Also, people have done things like this before, which is why I'm not impressed.

I'm afraid of heights, however with a harness i'd try too if i got the chance.

I'm not impressed by an idiot who wants to risk his life like that. What a foolish thing to do.

That's fucking crazy. That man must have balls forged from titanium.

If you're not impressed because it wasn't dangerous, go do it.

Somebody should have flew an RC helicopter into him, that would've been great.

How about going off in a kayak like a real thrillmaster?

Probably wouldn't have flown too well with all the mist from the falls. The gusts of wind were pretty bad as well.
