This is madness, I don't think I could ever walk along this! I hate heights enough as it is (unless I'm with girls obviously )

Watch the whole vid for a full sense of what I mean

I'm pretty much petrified of heights over 40ft especially when the thing you are walking along is incredibly narrow. O_O

Btw what are those cables along the mountain side are those like safety things so if you slip it will catch you or??

he isnt strapped on... he is walking far to fast to be changing the straps every 5 ft or so.

Well I think they are, but they dont look too strong, plus half the time the guy doent seem strapped on!

I cant believe how high it is either, I dont mind small heights (lol you get what I mean) but something that high n that thin would scare the crap outta me

3:24 shows a good clip of a guy reattaching his carbiner. Theres a steel cable running along the path, guessing thats the saftey line. However on some parts you dont see it, so not 100% sure if they are attached the whole time.

Id be scared to death walking along that thing. Get nervous standing inside a huge building, elt alone THAT.

Generally speaking, I don't mind heights at all. But that looks a bit dangerous to me!

You dont seem to understand, the guy isnt strapped on, other people may be but he can't be, he is moving FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR too fast to be unattaching and reattaching TWO straps every 5ft.

He probably straps atleast one strap on for the metal bits though.

Just think, there's a good chance the parts of the pathway that are missing above the nothingness had people fall through to their death.

That's bloody insane! I am SOOOO going there this summer. Mind you, I don't think the dept. of public safety will be too pleased about the safety aspect.

Wiki entry

The walkway has now gone many years without maintenance, and is in a highly deteriorated and dangerous state. It is one meter (3 feet) in width, and is over 200 meters (700 feet) above the river. Nearly all of the path has no handrail. Some parts of the concrete walkway have completely collapsed and all that is remaining is the steel beam originally in place to hold it up and the wire that follows most the path. One can latch onto the wire to keep from falling. Several people have lost their lives on the walkway in recent years; after four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000, the local government closed the entrances. However, adventurous tourists still find their way onto the walkway to explore it.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. I'm terrified by heights since I fell from four meters and hit my head in third grade.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
