I was working down in Niagara falls state park the day he walked the falls. it was so nerve wrecking watching him on the wire.

I watched when it happened, it was one of the most powerful things I've ever seen! My nerves were shot. I'll never forget it, we had gone to the Falls some years prior.

I love how people are so quick to discredit this man because he had a harness.. if you followed you would have known that they made him wear it in order for him to even do this. Still an amazing feat nonetheless because he made it across without having to use it. This man = legend.

Scary as heck. You were smart to use the harness here and last night. Love to you and your sister!

What a great evening this was. I feel truly blessed to have been able to have been there in person. It was worth getting drenched to the bone at at brink of the Horshoe Falls for this expirience. All the best to Nik and his family. He truly is a class act!

Saw this entirely live as I stood with my family on the Canadian side at Table Rock and was happy to see him kneel down and do his fist-pumping YET I never realized he was being interviewed during this actual walk...near me, a person in the crowd had a radio listening to the commentary...WATCHING THIS IN PERSON IS TRULY A HISTORICAL MOMENT FOREVER WITNESSED.

What an awesome person! Glad he made it! I watched this live as well!!!!!!!!!!!

wre they really asking him question when he was walking.... oh my god abc just go away

Can't believe I witnessed all of this on my birthday almost 7 years ago😨

It's 2021 and this never gets old for inspiration in trying times..you can do whatever u put your mind to

literally talked about this in physics class today ... gotta love MOMENT OF INERTIA

Right now I'm watching him walk the Grand Canyon. No harness. Strong winds. He could just go over the side at any second. Amazing

Anyone else afraid that he was going to fall, even though you knew he didn't?

@himothy0325

He had a tether

He was forced to wear it....officials would not allow this walk without it. The Grand Canyon was done with NO safety equipment......WOW, that was INSANE. That wind was blowing very hard....how did he NOT fall. Hats off to Nik, the dude is insanely brave.

I was at Niagara Falls the day before he did this. There were ads everywhere. Too bad i could not see it.

😀great men wonderful expression,This guy make it look easy.👍

I remember watching this as a kid. Looking back this man is great !

Agreed! I was there, and let me tell you, there was excitment in the crowd, but there wasn't that gripping fear that I wanted to feel. Nik did great, and I have nothing but the highest regard for what he did. I do however think the harness took a lot out of the evening. I left very satisfied with what I saw, but if the walk were done without the harness, I think I would still be tingling with excitment.

but can he do it on a cold rainy night in stoke?

The harness is just there for safety, it's not effecting his effort to stay balanced. I love how he carried his passport across the falls. Nik crosses international borders like a boss!

I almost died when I heard the reporter cut in and ask him how it’s going. Like bitch I’m kinda busy rn talk when I’m not on a tight rope 800 feet above a water fall😂

With the safety harness, the only danger of it is being embarrassed if he fell.

Yeah, for those who don't know, the Horseshoe Falls is entirely in Canada!

they forced him to wear a safety belt for the first time in his life

I remember watching this with my family, good times

I remember this! Wow, this was 8 years ago? Jeez...

An amazing feat. History has been made here! I'm pretty surprised they were interviewing him as he crossed! I did a little bit of tight-rope walking in the Cirque du Soleil. It takes a lot of focus & concentration.

Amazing!

honestly cant beleive it was that long ago i remember watching it on tv and i saw my friend on it

I remember watching this

I remember when I was thereee in the crowd

really this guy is so good

Holly Molly. Hard to stay next to The Niagara Falls with rain or mist. Amazing!

If u fall into niagra falls will it be a long drop??? Is it possible to swim?

This rascal reporters won't let him concentrate poor guy , bravo

Safetey harness is just for his safety. He was very well balanced and steady. In top of giving an interview at the same time! This was iconic

Having such a privilege to see such a special guy with my own specialties, it hurts to see his family look like Sylvester Stalone's son's character in Rocky V being held on the side looking like a scrub while Rocky teaches a student who never had ENOUGH hardships to learn on his own. Now, if Rocky were real, he has worse brain-injuries just because of doing street fighting due to his naive adventure into a naive student.

He try this for his country. Good job man.

goooood job man !!!!1

Was excited bout it first but then saw the harness

So so so so Brave...

Everyone who says this isn't impressive because he has a harness has no idea that the weight of his balls of steel easily exceed the resistance of that harness.

Please...people are far too self-righteous to admit that. Yeah, ok...the only reason you watch this stuff is to NOT watch him possibly slip, break the harness and fall to his death while his family screams from the river bank.

His definitely bloody brave a man no doubt

But your right, Petit's walk was arguably tougher after hiding for hours overnight under a tarp to avoid being caught. The wire he walked was thinner and he walked back and forth 8 times (over 1600 ft) did stunts, and used a 60lb balancing pole instead of 40lbs which Wallenda used.

I can't believe these news reporters are actually asking him questions as he is risking his life! You'd think they'd allow him to concentrate on the task at hand.
