World Record Longest Slackline Attempt

Three time slackline world champion Jaan Roose is attempting to set a new world record for the longest slackline. To do this he will walk across a 3.6 kilometre line suspended above the Messina Straits between mainland Italy and Sicily, exposed to the heat and changeable winds at the heights of over 200 metres above the sea.

Sitting here on my cozy balcony and I'm about as stressed out watching that than Jaan was most likely. AMAZING!!! That uphill battle at the end, seeing the finish line, the visual distortion and parallax of the Sicilian tower after being over the water for so long, must have been insane!

[@paladinkhan]

It was crazy how the distance plays with your eyes on camera, i cant imagine what it would be like in person. And walking that odd curve down and back up for the other half with the wind pushing it, bobbing up and down. Impressive just as much to not lose your stomach getting nauseous

[@TheBiscuitFactory]

WTF!?! 4km of line suspended that far & that high, under tension, & wind… I’d be crapping my pants worrying about that line breaking off from the connection points.

[@skyex5047]

Got to hold it for 3 hrs

[@junkgrave]

That's because you don't understand engineering then. There was no risk of that

[@superduper7911]

At that scale, a strong gust of wind can put a lot of force on the line.

[@SHERMA.]

its not a 4km long parachute its a slackline its not "catching" the wind and ripping the towers down mfw, were u born stupid or did you become stupid? these things interest me

[@SirVerdown]

@@junkgrave No, that statement is proof you are not an engineer. The engineer knows the risk of breaking and has tried to mitigate it but understands that it is a mechanical system and can fail.

[@asdf-y2c]

for anyone wondering, no he didn't break the record for the longest highline. For that he needs to walk start to end without falling. He did however break the record for longest distance walked continuously without falling since he only fell after walking past the previous highline record

[@Holden-uf7]

“In May, Paulin beat the world record for the longest highline, completing a 2,200-meter-long (nearly 1.4-mile) trek at Mont-Saint-Michel, a UNESCO world heritage site in France.” 1.4 miles is shorter than ~2.2 miles

[@asdf-y2c]

@@Holden-uf7 exactly what i mean. In the slaklining community the world record for a highline means that you need to walk the whole line without falling. If you fall then we dont count it as the record for the longest highline. The record he did beat is a different one, walking for the longest distance without falling, but he didnt complete the whole line
