Klinger Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Spanish Health and Safety is a contradiction of terms! Loved the vid and the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojan Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Ahhh! Very nice. I just love historical monuments. And I would be scared to death if I would have to walk over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonar Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 one is just asking for it by walking that. Shit happens too fast, too often to get my butt any where near that place!!(chicken) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streak Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Nope, not me. I'd be filling all those holes with the crapcrete running down my legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounder Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Have you been there Friar? I was there last year with my son and his wife and we had lunch at the little cafe just below the bridge. We never saw anyone walking the route that time around so seeing your video posted is really amazing. It is quite a way from where I live (between Alicante and Valencia) but quite close to Fuengirola where my son was on holiday. If any of you guys come to Spain let me know, you have a standing invitation to share a beer. Great post Friar. Hasta luego, Bounder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold_Gambler Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 On Wiki it says that a number of people have died falling off the Camino Del Rey. It is "closed" to the public due to it's current state but there are plans to rebuild it... It certainly looks beautiful. I'd only go on it it after being "safetied". Can't believe that nutter was holding the camera while walking over the beams foot over foot... holy crap, some people like to live dangerously!

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted May 14, 2008 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 @Bounder No, I've not been. Like most things on the net, I stumbled upon the video after being sent to the site by one of the other guys I think. Cheers Friar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted May 14, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Made my palms sweat just watching it! Awesome, would love to do it but doubt I have the balls.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 if you watch carefully, the entire length of the "walk" is now wired so that hikers can be clipped to the cliffside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klinger Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I guess you guys in emergency services see the consequences of people putting themselves in danger all too often. The trouble is, when you're a young man, you never feel more alive than when having a near death experience. Humans are dumm in a lot of ways, lol. I raced moto for about 10 years, for me it was the ultimate thrill, specailly the jumps. I never grabbed as much air as these nutters though.

1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted May 17, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 ~S~ Chaps, Bloody hell that guy was incredible I watched that at Klingers gaff and decided I could only do it clipped "on duty" to rescue someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 No f****ng way would I ever take that hike. Roped in or not. Did anyone notice the complete lack of rebar in the concrete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 It must have cost a pretty penny to put it in place in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer57 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I knew that guy was nuts when he walked across the railing like it was a tight-rope. Sheesh. Looks like it could crumble under an adult's weight at any moment. 700 feet, my god. We have a couple of bridges on the main drags around town that are a mere 70-80 ft high, and when I used to peddle my bike across the sidewalks on the side, it would literally take my breath the first few times. 700 feet on pavement that looks like graham crackers........not me. I've seen the local FD (and dispatched them in the distant past) in action in some pretty hairy rescue scenarios involving tall bldgs in these death trap plants around here as well as said bridges. They sure don't get paid enough for that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
