You're right really. But on the other hand, if Jamaal Charles gets hit by a strong gust of wind swirling through Arrowhead, he doesn't die. At least I hope not.

Not hating on religion at all, but his whispered prayers and celebrity minister cheerleader on the Grand Canyon crossing was comedy gold. Never seen a guy try to cash in so hard on his faith. It was hilarious.

It's how he was raised. His family has been doing it since well before TVs. I can't imagine the mental strength the guy must have.

Chances are he's actually perfectly capable of catching himself on the wire. Highline slackliners do it all the time. It'd be dramatic, and I'm not saying it's the preferred outcome, but I bet the chances of survival are actually > 50%.
