CloseIf anyone in the states was watching TV last night, you would know someone who just made history with a crazy ass stunt.
Nik Wallenda, part of a family of dare-devils, decided to take on a dangerous challenge of crossing one of the gaps of the Grand Canyon on a tightrope. The catch is, he has no parachutes, no one at the bottom to break his fall, nothing. If he screwed up just a little bit, he would have fallen to his death.
I watched the walk live on the discovery channel, and my heart was racing. Fortunately, unlike his father to attempted a similar act, this dude made the trek alive.

This guy probably has a name in the world records now, but in my opinion this was also insane. The dude is married and his wife AND kids were watching him on site. Just imagine if he didn't make it across...

I heard about this the other day.
I admire him for his bravery but not for his sense of recklessness. I’m just glad that he didn’t plummet to the ground and leave his wife and kids without a father. Yeah, the man’s an ultimate daredevil, but maybe he needs to realize that his family also comes first before any record in the history books.
Still...I'm glad he made it through okay.
