Florida aerialist Nik Wallenda completed a tightrope walk without a safety net that took him 1.2 kilometre over the Little Colorado River Gorge in northeastern Arizona on Sunday. Wallenda performed the stunt on a 5 centimetre thick steel cable, 457.2 metres above the river on the Navajo Nation near the Grand Canyon...

One question WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It appears to be in his blood.. (2nd or 3rd generation tightrope walker I think)

Probably a good money earner at that level (believe he holds several world records)

A few years ago there was a documentary film about a French (?) tight-rope walker who walked between the World Trade Centre twin towers.  I can't remember what it was called.

If his name was Michael and he fell he might have been called Michael Flatley  :snigger:
