I think we're all exchanging views and expressing opinions. I'm OK with that. I don't generally expect people to always agree. That's why I like this forum.

lol, your expectations are realistic. I was just tryin' to support all that goes on in Niagara Falls. Lot of terrific folks from that area. You'd think they were Cincinnatians, they are so nice.

I respectfully agree to disagree with others who have a different viewpoit than mine.

Let's be one big happy family on this wonderful forum. :smiley:

Never forget that one can brighten a room when entering and some when leaving. :jester:

The TV executives wouldn't televise the event unless he agreed to the harness. It actually made the uphill part of the walk more difficult because he had to drag it along.

I didn't need a "thrill" to admire the athletic ability required to complete the walk.

Nic did a lot of praying as he was crossing the tightrope. If it was a piece of caking, he wouldn't have been praying. Also, there were times he said he could not see with the mist and spray, and the wind came at him from all directions. He had 40 lbs. on his back carrying the balance pole or bar. The safety chain looked like more of hindrance to him than a help. What if that would have caught on to something? Note: he did not want to have this hooked on to him. Nic had a lot of elements to deal with. I was very impressed with his courage. Remember, too that he practiced quite a bit before he tried this feat. So if it looked easy to you, think about what I just stated.

Bythe way, Nik did NOT want to wear the safety harness at all. ABC mandated it.
