This is just an urban stunt show, much like Philippe Petit tightrope walking between the World Trade Centres but with a lesser budget and recorded on readily available equipment. There has always been stuff like this happening, but now it's all over YouTube and blogs within minutes so it's far more visible. Plus it's being done in locations some of us actually aspire to be so we draw comparisons between the two pastimes. I've no doubt these guys are well trained and competent at what they're doing, despite their age, so good luck to them. It's certainly impressive to see it, if not a little toe curling, so appreciate it for what it is.
Hopefully we all know our limits and that allows us to stay safe in what we do. Whilst I absolutely love dangling my legs over the edge of high stuff whilst sitting and taking in the view, I cannot see myself doing what these guys do even on the ground, so there's no risk for me, and I would guess 99.9% of people on here.
These guys are simply performers who want to do their stuff higher, and in more dangerous locations than the last video that got a squijillion hits. It's been going on for years and long may it continue.
