Priest Walks The Tight-Rope
Posted By Ben Goulding, 14 August, 2009 | permalink
“A priest performed a dangerous tight-rope stunt with no safety equipment 80ft above ground after a last minute hitch in plans for his charity fundraiser.
Father Jerome Lloyd was supposed to be carried along the rope on the back of a circus performer in scenes reminiscent of Frenchman Charles Blondin in 1859.
Blondin made it across a high-wire suspended 160ft above the Niagara Falls with his manager on his back.
Unfortunately, Father Lloyd’s stunt had to be adapted at the last minute after professional tight-rope walker Chico Marinhos was unable to lift the 12.5st priest.”
