    lol yeah that's so ballsy, that's the kind of guy who pours gatorade overhimself at the end of the day like chuck norris, and falls asleep from collapsing under his own awesomeness

    Oh yeah, I've been seeing commercials for this for a while. Too bad nothing on TV is actually live, and it's all fake. Obviously he didn't die, or else they wouldn't air it.

    Yeah you could be right that it's not live. There's probably an hour delay on it, if there's a splat they cancel the broadcast. It was still exciting to see though

    They broadcasted it straight from the US though. No subs and 35 commercials omg how can ppl ever watch TV in the US with all those interruptions. I was surprised there was no commercial while he was on the wire lol

    It will be semi-live like the space jump of this Red bull guy..

    In case of a "splat" they have time to cut it down so it's not shown..

    It's about 20 seconds delay.. Thats cause there are laws that you can't show deathgames live..

    LMAO...

    I just notices that he made it... He even jogged on the last meters xD...

    He trained like 4 years with really big wind blowers to learn how to overcome the wind changes...

    Glad he is ok.

    You guys know it wasn't actually the Grand Canyon, right? It was over some place in Colorado.

    I know...

    But still walking 426 meters at 460 altitude without harness and net is a hell of a challenge :D
