Karl Wallenda was a German-American high wire artist. He was the founder of The Flying Wallendas, a daredevil circus troupe whose members performed dangerous stunts far above the ground, often without a safety net. On March 22, 1978, the world watched in horror as Karl Wallenda fell to his death. As he attempted to walk across a high wire strung between the two towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the 73-year-old Wallenda lost his balance, teetering on the wire for 30 heart-stopping seconds before plummeting 10 stories.

As a fellow Welshman, who knows nothing on the subject, I have to stand with my countrymen. Delete this post you mocking Tutsi dog! You deserved everything you Tutsi scum got, unless you were the ones doing it, in which case you'll pay for what you Tutsi scum did! Or is it that nothing happened at all? Either-way, fuck you Tutsi dog!

You'd think he would have practiced bailing a bit, instead of fumbling like he's doing it for the 1st time.

He was the 'boss' of the family. And had been for a long time. His sons or managers should have stood up to him and told him he wasn't physically up to it anymore.
