Would you do this?

Just seen this on the BBC website

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17811115

A slackline walker has crossed the Enshi Grand Canyon in China's Hubei Province on a rope just two centimetres thick.

American Dean Potter - who grew up in New Hampshire - crossed a distance of 40m (44 yards) in just over two minutes at a height of 1,800m (1,968 yards) above sea level, according to Chinese state media.

The feat considered more challenging than tightrope walking, as the line is not held completely taut and is susceptible to stretching and bouncing, as the BBC's Karin Giannone explains.

Stomach churned watching it first time. Well done to him.

No, it's just stupid.

I am surprised the weight of his balls didn't break the line.

Would I do what? Would I walk it for free no? Would I attempt it for 10million pounds and 2years of training yes.

That's like saying would you perform a sexual act on a male for free if your straight, but then add 20million into the equation..(not saying i would)

No as I have less balance than a one fin gold fish trying to do a fin stand out of water.

I do it for a lot less than that.
1/2 million would set me up until I die.
