Just a few days ago, an incredibly brave, or incredibly stupid, man walked through the whistling wind across a 500-meter rope strung thousands of feet above the Utah desert floor. And he probably broke a world record doing so. Damn. The world record in question is that for the longest slackline walk, or balancing on and crossing a webbed line anchored between two stationary objects—in this case, the Castleton and Rectory rock towers. Théo Sanson performed the stomach-dropping feat assisted by a team of 15 who rigged the slackline. Sanson wore a safety belt, but that doesn't make him any less insane or us any less impressed.
