Philippe Petit would have wiped the floor with him, literally.

Geezer belongs on the funny farm.

Whether he does or not, it was an incredibly brave thing to do, particularly as some of his family met untimely ends doing similar stunts.

REPEATED 7PM TONIGHT, THE FILM NOT THE WALK.  http://www.skyscraperlive.com/wired-in.html

I remember watching watching World of Sport back in the 1970's and seeing his grandfather ( Karl??) fall to his death off a wire somewhere in Central America. Was shown as part of International Sports Special.

Man On Wire a great documentary about the guy who tightrope walked between the World Trade Center buildings in 1970s
