Recently some dude (Nik Wallenda) walked across Niagara Falls on a tightrope and sadly made it across without falling. But seriously, when it comes to daredevils, pass or fail we are all in! First off they have the balls to try something none of us have the guts to do. Second, it’s good old family fun for all…until someone dies…Third, the thrill of an unscripted ending is very interesting to us. So with that here are a few clips of some great daredevil moments. Pass or fail, they are memorable.
Evil Knievel Caesar’s Palace Jump
Robbie Maddison New Years Eve Las Vegas Jump
Philippe Petit High Wire Walk Sydney Harbour Bridge
Eddie Kidd Jumps 14 Buses
Larry Walters Goes up in some balloons
Larry was supposed to go up a couple hundred feet then shoot out some balloons and come safely to the ground. He instead shot up over 15,000 feet, shot out some balloons, crashed into some power lines causing a blackout and getting arrested. Pretty awesome.
