I think tight-rope walking is an amazing skill but I think what he did was reckless and pretentious.<br /> I'm also disappointed, but not surprised, that it was even aired. It just exploits the morbid curiosity of people to see if a man might die live on air. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-wire-walk-across-the-grand-canyon#post-879158 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:39:15 +0000 mrsjazz 879158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched some clips on the news...but I think he's an idiot, sorry. Does the "glory" and "pride" of doing something like this without a tether or net outweigh the fact that he could have fallen to his death in front of his family? Especially when his grandfather died doing something like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-wire-walk-across-the-grand-canyon#post-879136 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:32:22 +0000 sotofamilia 879136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I agree. I thought it was awesome and I could never do that and the video is something else - but how irresponsible with a wife and kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-wire-walk-across-the-grand-canyon#post-879130 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:29:17 +0000 hilsy85 879130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watched this...I couldn't really watch a lot of it, I was too nervous for him! I think it's a really cool feat, but at the same time...I don't know, it kind of annoyed me. He's getting all this press and attention for doing something that, frankly, I think is kind of idiotic, considering how easily he could have died and left his family without him. </p> <p>Also, I'm sure his religion was great source of support during his walk, and I know he was nervous, but the constant "Praise Jesus, praise God" was a bit much for me! But I guess if you're doing what he was doing, whatever works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-wire-walk-across-the-grand-canyon#post-879128 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:28:31 +0000 T.H.O.U. 879128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We watched, but I fell asleep! That was a long walk! I was very gald this morning though to hear it went well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/high-wire-walk-across-the-grand-canyon#post-879121 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:25:54 +0000 DillonLion 879121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I figure it is my duty to celebrate and post anytime someone high wire walks across anything ;)</p> <p><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/24/us-usa-highwire-grandcanyon-idUSBRE95K15Z20130624" rel="nofollow">http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/24/us-usa-highwire-grandcanyon-idUSBRE95K15Z20130624</a></p> <p>The video on this post is great!</p> <p>Did anyone watch last night? </p>
