I Just Had a Heart Attack Watching This Guy Walk Across a 210 Foot Slackline 951 Feet Off The Ground Without Any Ropes Or Safety Precautions

on August 2nd 2015 Spencer Seabrooke set out to break the world record for the longest free solo slackline ever. He shattered the previous record by 7 meters! This had to have been one of the most gut wrenching things ive experienced in my whole life, between operating the drone and watching him walk 290 meters above the earths floor, it was definitely something I have never experienced.

Like, seriously? Are you kidding me?

Today I left the house during the day to go get food. Yep, left the laptop and my apartment and ventured outdoors. What a rush that was! The sun was out, the birds were chirping, my adrenaline was running through my veins like never before. Might even do it again tomorrow. What is this guy going to do in order to get a rush tomorrow? Sky dive without a parachute? Jump into an ocean of sharks without a cage? Talk to a girl at a bar without taking 10 shots first? What does a guy like him do on a Saturday morning? He can’t just walk to Mike’s Cafe and get a bagel and iced coffee and be like “wow, I was productive today”. Just insanity.
