This is the nail-biting moment when a German Slackliner is captured, balancing his weight in mid-air amid strong winds. The footage shows the daredevil walking on the slackline as he holds a camera in one hand, while the wind roars in his face. Not just that; he slowly begins to walk on the rope on one leg, calm throughout, slacklining between the two massive power transmissions towers in Armenia. It is scary as hell! As the video goes viral, it reminds us of three other times when daredevils gave us some major chills. Texas Man Crushes Both Legs While Base Jumping From 19-Floor-Building in Norway. 

The German slackliner is identified as Friedrich Kuhne. As his clip was going viral, it was reported that Kuhne was walking at 1050-feet mid-air between the pylons during 70 mph winds. You read that, right! In the video itself, you can see the strong wind blowing as he walks calmly, up in the air.

1. Norway Gymnast Performs Highest Handstand

There are many such moments as this. A Norway Gymnast recently performed a death-defying stunt at 1300 ft. on Rampestreken Viewpoint in Andalsnes on his 40th birthday. Identified as Eskil Rønningsbakken, the professional gymnast balanced himself perfectly atop Rampestreken, doing a perfect handstand. A slight miss of precision could have taken his life.

2. Slacklining at the Europa Park Rust, Germany

A professional slackliner, Alexander Schulz braved the 150-metre long and one-inch thick line, while slacklining over a roller coaster last year. He became the first person in the world to walk over a roller coaster in the Europa Park Rust, Germany. People with a fear of heights must not watch such videos.

3. Slacklining Tightrope 200 Feet in the Air

Artist Nathan Paulin nearly took half an hour to complete the dangerous walk at 200 feet up in the air across France's River Seine. The rope was connected between the first level of the Eiffel Tower and Trocadero Square, as Paulin successfully completed the walk back in 2017.

These are such stomach-churning, terrifying videos, which should never be attempted by amateurs for thrills. The stunts are performed by professionals, who have practised the feats before trying them out.
