crazyman444 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Tom the same could be said about many others who have broken records or attempted them. Watched the live stream on youtube, pretty cool to see the communication guy is the old record holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom P. Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I watched it. Pretty interesting. The guy that "walked across" Niagara Falls was an attention seeker. That guy had a safety harness and basically took off the risk-factor out of it. This one is much different. After watching it I give this guy mad props.

Thargo Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Tom, Nik was forced to wear a safety harness actually. He absolutely did not like the fact of wearing a safety harness. but they forced him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom P. Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'm aware of that. He still did with a safety harness, therefore no risk-factor. They made just a big deal about it and how much courage he had to do it when they were putting a safety harness on him. He probably signed a huge contract with ABC because that's who was covering it. That "stunt" was more about the money than the risk. This on the other hand had a huge amount of risks. So many things could have gone wrong. This guy has courage and did this in the name of science.

Thargo Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Yeah, thats true. But even with a harness, it still is scary as hell. I've been to Niagara Falls about 3 three times in my life, and you can't really understand the power of it unless you've been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Graves Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 This was actually a test to see how well the new space suits held up against some extreme conditions, red bull and a few other brands had sponsored it to make it happen. More than likely this will lead to us landing a human on mars in the near future. I would also expect him to do another jump more than likely in march or april Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
