A spectacular high wire act, we saw this at the beginning of the show, Chinese acrobats 1 setting out to walk backwards 2 along a 2300-foot-long wire while blindfolded 3, and no net, no harness, and look what happens, just before the end, losing his balance and he would plunge 4 130 feet to the ground. Now amazingly, that's him, walking away not seriously hurt.
But I wanna take this moment just to address a question that we had, when when Nick Wallenda walked across Niagara Falls, and a lot of people wanted to know, well, why if he has a harness, what you know, why do you, why make him wear a harness, and that is why you wear a harness. When it's on television, we didn't want you to see that.
Amazingly, he walked away from that.
