across the Grand Canyon on a high wire.

I bet there were some disappointed people in the media who would have liked to film him plunging to his death - more dramatic than sitting still while the vibrations stopped.

That photograph makes me think that Health and Safety probably is a good thing

Broke out in a cold sweat watching this it had the same effect on me as that very famous, I think 1930s photograph, of the workmen in New York umpteen floors up sitting on a plank nonchalantly eating their lunch and dangling their legs over the city below them. Anything like that makes me feel queasy.

I recorded it and watched next morning. I managed to get half way through, by which time my palms were pouring with sweat , and then I had to fast forward to the end to see if he made it. I thought it was an amazing thing to do and just what you would expect from a descendant of The Flying Wallendas. Normally I hate heights - even filmed heights - but looking down into the depths of the Grand Canyon was SO high it just didn't seem real.

Wonder what Jesus would have thought.

It's ok Greatnan, I think I saw a man in a rowing boat just under the wire.

I don't think I approve of people risking their lives in this way - if he fell somebody would have to retrieve his body.

I'd have to wear a blindfold! No, forget that, I feel queasy just thinking about it.

I couldn't even manage the wall walk at Framlingham Castle so I had to have a lie down after seeing this on the news!

Because its there? Like Everest.

I wondered how he had got on ?

Well done to him but i"m afraid cannot really see the point .

Even reading that has made me feel quite faint....
