Wired for action: slacklining daredevils’ adrenaline acrobatics

Ready for some jaw-dropping feats of slacklining? Because if you’re inspired by impossible acrobatics off wires slung across yawning drops, then this is the video for you.

Slacklining refers to the act of walking, running or balancing along a suspended length of flat webbing, tensioned between two anchors. It is similar to slack rope walking and tightrope walking.

Slacklines are tensioned significantly less than tightropes or tightwires in order to create a dynamic line that will stretch and bounce like a long and narrow trampoline. Tension can be adjusted to suit the user, and different webbing may be used in various circumstances.
