A young man has been arrested in the United States for daring to risk his life. The distance between two high-rise buildings under construction is 80 feet. He tied a nylon rope there and walked over it. The incident took place on May 12 in Los Angeles, California. The young man’s name is Ben Schneider.
The 28-year-old posted a video clip of the walk on his YouTube page, ‘Reckless Ben’. He set the record by walking on a tightrope between the two tallest buildings, known as the Graffiti Towers, in the Oceanwide Plaza development, a commercial area of the city of Los Angeles.
‘It was very scary,’ Schneider told KABC-TV. You feel afraid or shake whenever you glance down.Furthermore, the rope will wobble as you shake it, which could cause you to fall. I didn’t want to fall. All you need to do is maintain mental clarity.’
