OK walking that looks pretty frightening. But all i can think about is who laid all the pipes and poured all the concrete. Now that's scary!

That is beyond my capability. I could never do that.
It was difficult to even just watch even though it was fascinating.

The parts where the walkways have falled apart and looks to be only pipe left.
And he walks it while filming? That's the stuff of nightmares to me.

Ugh. I'm not sure if I'd barf before I fell, while I was falling, or after hitting the ground. I doesn't like the high places.

the pipe is pretty insane but at least he had the wall to his right to brace his hands on. i saw shit just as crazy in the crand canyon in march. there was one point where i had to stare at where the cliff wall and ground met while i walked along very slowly because a sheer drop hundreds and hundreds of feet down was about a foot away on the other side of me. :shock:

The guy filming seemed ballsy because everyone else was using the safety lines.

Looks awesome fun though
