I saw clips of it this morning.  It made my palms sweat.  I cannot imagine how someone does something like that.  I have a terrible fear of heights.

They previewed it on the "Today Show" Saturday morning.  When I saw it, the first thing I said was, "Lord, there is no way!"  I am deathly afraid of heights and would never attempt such a feat. I think he is crazy, but I am glad he made it.  While I understand he is a daredevil and likes to take risks like that, I would have to be prayered up to do it, let alone drunk, and I don't drink. ??? :o ??? :wave:

I don't get the point of doing things like this.
