Title: Dangerous Path
Post by: Teresa on April 03, 2008, 07:51:22 PM
Ok.. I am into videos tonight.. (actually supposed to be researching a new technique in editing.. but got sidetracked.. )

My cousin Jim sent this to me.. He KNOWS I HATE heights... and this one just about made me throw up to watch it.

Never in all of heaven and earth would I walk on this.. .. :o


Dangerous Path
Take a first person look at one of the most dangerous paths in the world.

Why? ? ? ? ?



Why would anyone walk there?
Surely they had a safety harness? ? ?

Where is it?


PS - I don't like heights, either!

Not enough money in this world for me to do that..............gads zook....but The
guy walking it must have a few loose screws.

What I found wierd is that a lot of that trail was actually shored up by men and steel......
wonder who they were that had that for a job......Slaves, maybe.

I don't mind looking out from my chair....but not for real.....I get vertigo just looking out a tall
building.......always feel like I am falling.

I am so glad I live in FLAT!!!! Kansas. Ok, not so flat.

Where is the world is this footpath?  I believe it is either in China or in South America.  The person who was taking this video was probably wearing a helmet camera.

all I got to say is whoever took that video either has a death wish or needs to have his mentality examined big time.

I tried to do research on this and never could determine where the location is.
But by the posts.. the walker was not harnessed in ..and he was wearing a helmet cam.

And in my opinion.. he was a loony and crazy as a 4 headed monkey  ::)

Ohhhhh I think I am going to faint!

I don't think it is the same one..
This one at least seems to be in a bit of better shape. One of the comments was that some have fallen and been killed but some actually bike through it. ( idiots in my opinion)
I don't think that there is any way anyone could bicycle on the other one.

I think that's the one Teresa. I looked at the rest of the clips too and it seems to be a really long path with some very bad areas and good ones also. I'd be fine on it except where it's missing. I'm not into tiptoeing out on a single pipe to get to the other side. No way! It's beautiful though.

Teresa and all. I took a few minutes to Google and Wikipedia Caminito del Rey and I'm sure you were right. There is a history of the pathway and several more video clips to make you dizzy. It's scary but interesting. It's officially closed, but tourists go anyway and some do fall off.

It's just hateful.. hateful I say! :D

I literally can't breathe when I try to watch it.. So if anyone is planning to 'get rid of me'.. that would be the easiest way to do it.
Just put me on that.. and leave me..
ByeBye Teresa..  ;D ;D
