    Sorry not having that……before he gets on the line he’s got a carabiner off the back of his shorts and indeed whilst he’s doing it at the start you can see a line attached to the slackline (black mark on the line 8′ behind him and thin line to his waist band area……….
    Apart from that he’s got way bigger balls than me! 😆

    The black mark on the line is gaffa tape which they use to hold a back-up rope under the main webbing. Usually taped on about every 1-2m. It doesn’t move when he walks. And see how he walks away from the line when he gets to the end? He does seem to be wearing a harness for some reason but I couldn’t see any tether.

    It’s mind blowing. Can’t imagine what would drive someone to risk their life like that.

    Take a look at Man on Wire – Philippe Petit on a tightrope between the World Trade Centre towers in 1974.

    Sorry not having that.

    There’s no back up there.
