No safety line? No way.

With safety line, would have to pay me $10 million to do that.

No safety line makes it fun and exciting. I'm far too out of shape now, but 30 years ago I might have paid money to do that.

I'm all for a little adrenalin rush, but tempting fate with such extreme risk, not for me....

I just can't watch. Creeps me out. Why would anyone want to do that? I just don't get it. Don't try to explain it to me.

Ballsy to say the least!

I love the way he is grunting, like he is trying to get the anxiousness out of his system.

I used to cross bridges by walking along the handrails as a stupid teenager but I never would have done that.

I started rodeo bull riding at 47, when I started getting too old for stuff like this.

Not just for balancing but a counter-weight.

And then everyone will be posting on what a great, amazing guy he was and trying to drum up money for his wife and children all because he was an ass and couldn't be bothered to think about their security.

Use a safety line. It won't take away from the accomplishment.
