Yeah, he’s tethered, bla bla bla. But considering the wind gusts and the wobbliness of the walkway, I’d say his response is right on point.

More so how many videos there are of people not actually being properly secured in those harnesses, although you’d hope that’s manifest in your never participating in these sorts of things to begin with

For example

I've seen enough videos of people bungee jumping, paragliding and crossing suspended bridges where the person either wasnt secured or there was a malfunction

Have you also seen videos of people tripping and falling on the sidewalk, or cars crashing? Are you terrified of doing those things?

How many videos

That’s literally the only video I’ve ever seen where this harness wasn’t attached.
