A man who said he had a fear of heights has reportedly set a new
record for ‘urban highlining’, which involved him walking on a rope 185
metres above the ground.
It is probably a surprise to everyone that Reinhard Kleindl apparently holds the world record due to his acrophobia.
But after walking the precarious line between two tall buildings in
Frankfurt, Germany, he definitely deserves some sort of acknowledgement.
The 32-year-old successfully walked across a rope attached to the two
sky scrapers, and apparently managed to beat the previous 120metre
record set at Paris’ Les Mercuriales twin towers.
‘The effect of the height was worse than I had expected. The straight
lines of the building just seem to drop down into infinity,’ said the
Austrian.
The daredevil was very pleased with the walk and is said to have shouted with joy once he had finished.
