This guy clearly does not have a problem with heights.
High-wire daredevil Nik Wallenda undertook his longest crossing, walking the longest tight rope ever at the Wisconsin State Fair on Tuesday. The acrobat took 33 minutes to cross a 1,576-foot (480 metres) wire. He was most recently seen last year high above downtown Chicago, wire-walking between two skyscrapers. His other feats include crossing the Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon and the daredevil hopes to wire-walk over an active volcano soon…
After a Twitter follower asked him what he is scared of, he replied:
Other than my wife, I can’t think of much!
Nik, who is the seventh generation of the Great Wallenda Family – famed for being daring acrobats, was ten stories above the ground without a safety net and walked at an incline. His great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, slipped and fell to his death from a high-wire in Puerto Rico in 1978.
