maybe they should have a soft mat at the bottom? really shocking the lack of safety

Pretty horrific actually. Glad he wasn't brain damaged.

#1 Thats part of the stunt..
#2 is he ok?!?!

doing stuns without safety... well i enjoy circus as any other but with no net or at least something to soften the fall. You are just another youtube moron and i feel no pity for your self inflicted injuries.

Adrian just ate concrete

At 0:53 you can see that the bike chain has fallen off the sprocket... That might help explain why their stunt backfired.

Driver dead, haha and the other person hangs and holds the cycle and let the man go down

it gives people even more respect that they do it with no net,just shows how much dedication actually goes into circus acts

I wonder if he is back to work yet.... don't think i would be....

It is ok if they use no net when nobody watches, but if there are children in the audience, I don't want them to see a near-fatal fall.

Why risk you life for a pathetic stunt like this??
Do something that'll go down in history!!

the shit advert at the end should have been removed

going on the tightrope whilst he was solo was good enough..when the uncle climbed on they were just asking for it. it just proves you cant take anything for granted, hope they are ok

He was able to grab the wire with both hands just long enough to lesson the force of the fall on the concrete. The force would have been far greater had he not. Could have been death otherwise.

poor guy

I wonder if any insurance agency would even cover people who did that for a living.

it looked like he was diving into a pool ,
but yeah that was in the late 80's befor every one started to think safety first

When will people learn to wear helmets! jk thats fucked up he almost made it.... I knew right when the uncle got on his shoulders that if they fell he would be able to grab on to the rope and the kid fall.

#2 its not possible, he got it long time ago.
