unstable bucket, trying their best not to move. kim is very concerned about sam. he has a medical condition, and she fears the trauma of the accident may affect his heart. sam looked extremely red with the pressure, you know. that was my concern, making sure he remained calm. but kim knows if they have it bad, contractor bruce boyles has it worse. he s hanging below them from his safety harness, which is still connecting him to the bucket. one wrong move could send them all crashing into the water below. we were just encouraging him to hang on, hang in there, help was on the way. kim doesn t know it from her position in the bucket, but the contractor who fell into the river has survived and is pulled to safety below. now rescuers on the bridge are trying to devise a plan to save the rest of them. captain randy fulford was one of the individuals that i knew had recent high-angle rescue training that i knew would make the rescue more safe, both for the individuals we were
exhilarating. the director told yahoo! taxiing was worse than flying because of the exhaust fumes. cruise is known for doing his own stunts. from the hood of a car to behind the wheel, from a night fight to a rock climb, but there is one tom cruise stunt that leaves all the rest of them looking stunted. there he is scaling the tallest building on the planet in dubai for mission impossible ghost protocol kicking his way in, leaping back out. of course he was wearing a safety harness. but trying to top that explains this. cruise had to wear a lens covering his entire eyeball so he could keep his eyes open while flying. have you ever felt this way before? reporter: it s hard to make fun of him for jumping up and down on oprah s couch once
my doctor said, yeah, there s no use keeping it there. ferguson may have suffered a serious injury, but that won t stop him from taking flight again. i just enjoy the sport. and as soon as my amputation heals up, i m going to be back in the sky again with one arm. just when new yorkers think they ve seen it all, a woman dangles without a safety harness from one of new york city s monumental bridges. twisting and turning 300 feet above rush hour traffic. and if you re wondering, this is not legal. when i said fly high or die, what i was really saying was, give me liberty or give me death. july 11, 2011.
on a narrow cord more than 3,000 feet above a norwegian fjord. he s attacking the world s highest slack line walk when suddenly it s august 3, 2006. christian is atop a mountain in southwest norway. he s strung the nylon cord himself, testing each screw to make sure it s securely fastened and then edging along the wire, checking it inch by inch. his only protection if he falls during the attempt will be a safety harness attached to the line. if a cord or screws break christian will plunge to his death. translator: there are a lot of things that can go wrong. for example, you could have something sharp in your pocket that could cut the line. once christian has gone through the safety check, he begins psyching himself up. music gets him in the zone.
like in oregon s aptly named monkey face, another successful ramble without the aid of any kind of safety harness. i think freestyle highlining is less dangerous than driving a car. this daredevil doesn t just walk from one end to the other. when he gets close to the other side, he does his signature move. kneeling on the line, he puts his hands together as if praying and actually shuts his eyes. i was praying like this and close my eyes for one second. it s an amazing feeling. it is just something that i want to say thank you. it s inconceivable for most of us, and yet, even in near darkness, mich kemeter is completely unfazed. i got it! yeah, buddy! there s more to life. it is just those limit moments.
