hblask 1 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I was distracted by this image alongside the video: Link to post Share on other sites
hblask 1 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 OK, my last post was because the video was only playing in 2 second increments and then pausing, but once it loaded properly, I watched it, and it's amazing. They don't appear to have any ropes or wires or anything.... that's just nuts. It was hard to watch that.If you've been to the CN Tower with their glass floor, and think about how freaky that is, now imagine doing this.... Link to post Share on other sites
HubDub04 0 Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 I know, I had to turn away a few times. It actually felt like I was there with them. IDK how that is humanly possible.I couldn't even begin to bring myself to do that.Those guys are incredibly f-ing stupid imo. Link to post Share on other sites
hblask 1 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Yeah, that's the thing I was trying to figure out... how you convince yourself to do it. Sure, you can successfully hang from a bar 99.99999% of the time, but what if this is the one that makes it not 100%? Plus, how do you ever psychologically convince yourself that you have the mental willpower to hang on when the adrenaline kicks in?I guess it's like those free climbers who scale sheer rock faces without ropes.... they have to stay mistake-free for longer than this guy did.

DrawingDeadInDM 0 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 That's probably not gonna help all the falling nightmares I have. I got vertigo just from watching. Link to post Share on other sites
rocketpoker828 0 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 yeah, that's insane. there is no amount of money you could pay me to do this. i actually started to get sick from watching. Link to post Share on other sites
Asimo 1 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Unless I'm mistaken I think they are wearing some kind of parachute or base jumping back pack. Not to say that I still think that the video is amazing. I'd probably slip right off the crane because my hands would be sweating so much.By the way that link is really slow. Here is a link to the video on break.com Link to post Share on other sites
HubDub04 0 Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Yea, it looks like a backpack actually. Normal parachutes have straps that click in front of your chest so it doesnt slip off. I don't think you would want a parachute that could slip off of your arms so easily. Link to post Share on other sites

Royal_Tour 0 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I dont even have to click that link, I saw that video last week and its retarded.People were saying they had parachutes on, but No, 1 is wearing a backpack, and the other has nothing.Crazyest part, They dont even look comfortable lifting themselves. Like they can barely do a chin up. Link to post Share on other sites
