not saying that what he did was not very difficult....BUT...for days this was hyped as a death-defying mega stunt, the 'event' was preceded by an hour and 40 minutes of death defying mumbo jumbo, was it a difficult feat, certainly, was it a death defying ace as promised...not at all. Tight rope walkers (THE great wallenda) had professional pride and would not use a safety harness...this was rather pale. I didn't want to see him fall but there's no nail biter when there's no risk whatsoever!
