Watch:  German duo breaks record for highest altitude slackline walk

World record, highest altitude slackline walk, Guinness

German daredevils have broken the world record for the highest altitude slackline walk.

The pair took a thrilling walk across a slackline suspended between two hot air balloons.

Friedi Kühne and Lukas Irmler made this record in the skies of Riedering municipality in Germany and walked across a slackline 8,202 feet over the ground, earning the Guinness World Record for their stroll.

Lukas Irmler made two attempts, falling twice before successfully completing the walk on his second try.

The duo shattered the previous record of 6,236 feet, set in 2021. Irmler took the first walk, followed by Kühne.

Irmler described the experience to Guinness World Records “The main attempt of breaking the world record was pretty difficult for me. The pressure was really high. It was a great relief of pressure, and it was glorious moment.”

“Watching Lukas struggle on the slackline was also very intimidating for me,” Kühne added. “Not only did the balloons spin the entire time, they also went up and down. At one point we were walking kind of downhill — the next minute uphill. The tension of the line was going up and down.”

To celebrate their successful record attempt, Kühne took a dramatic leap off the slackline, parachuting down to the ground.

Biden tests positive for Covid, fueling health worries

Image
US President Joe Biden tested positive for Covid with mild symptoms Wednesday, shortly after conceding he would consider dropping his reelection bid if doctors diagnosed him with a serious medical condition. The 81-year-old Democrat gave reporters the thumbs up and said “I feel good” as he cut short a trip to Las Vegas and flew to his beach home in Delaware to go into isolation, which will take him off the campaign trail for days. Biden thanked well-wishers on X, adding that “I will be isolating as I recover, and during this time I will continue to work to get the job done for the American people.” The infection comes at a critical moment for Biden’s campaign, with the president seeking to show he is up to the job after a disastrous debate performance against rival Donald Trump sparked concerns about his health and calls from some Democrats for him to step aside. It is also the latest development in a tumultuous few days in an already frenetic White House race that saw Trump survi...
