He's starting his 45 minute walk in mere minutes. Catch it on your local ABC channel to watch it live!

What do you guys think about stunts like this? His wife and kids are watching it live. After seeing the video of his great grandfather falling 10 stories to his doom, all I can say is WTF? !

 

[Maximum Carnage]

Watching this is painful.. Lol.

 

[Schlosser85]

I can't help but feel it's irresponsible and selfish for someone with a wife and especially with children to do this.

 

[Maximum Carnage]

I know. I'm completely shocked that she's so on board. But I can imagine how joyful and happy she is now that he made it safe..

 

[Schlosser85]

It's the children that bother me. If it was just the two of them, and she's okay with it, well, they're both adults and can make their own decisions. But I'm sure the kids would rather have their daddy than have him sacrifice himself in some crazy stunt.

 

[The Squirrel]

Well that was boring.

 

[Maximum Carnage]

No death, squirrel. However - if you want to check out his great grandfather, you'll get what you want to see. :x

 

[The Squirrel]

I don't want to see death, but that whole event was... uninspiring.

 

[Dr. Evil]

ABC requested he have a safety harness.

 

[Maximum Carnage]

Haha. Not surprised.

 

[Dr.]

My pet peeve is Niagara spelled "Niagra."

He had a harness. Still I'd be pretty freaked out walking above that dark thunderous water and mist
