Nik Wallenda is not a regular guy. He is an American high wire tight rope artist who holds 9 Guiness World Records for performing swashbuckling stunts that will blow your mind away! Astonishingly, he does not use any safety harness while performing his acts. Three of Nik Wallenda’s most famous acts of daredevilry are on display below:
The Grand Canyon
On June 23, 2013, Nik Wallenda covered a distance of 1400 feet on a highwire set at a height of 1500 feet over the Grand Canyon in the United States with no harness! This was the highest walk of Wallenda’s career.
Niagra Falls
On June 15, 2012, almost 13 million people witnessed Wallenda become the first man in history to walk a wire directly over the Niagara Falls.
Chicago Skyscraper Blinfold Walk
On November 2, 2014, Wallenda conquered the Chicago skyline as he traversed the distance between two skyscrapers at a height of 671 feet. But this time he did it by blindfolding himself!
