Carefully tiptoeing almost 3,000 ft above Rio
de Janeiro on a thin wire got a bit too much for this adrenaline junkie - so he
decided to have a lie down.
Fearless Brian Mosbaugh is so used to the
perilous heights he decided he deserved a short break and relaxed over the
famous Brazilian city.
Balancing his whole body on the wire, he lies
completely horizontal on the precarious rope before getting back up and
strolling across the rest of the highline at Pedra da Gavea.
Fellow daredevil Andy
Lewis went one step further.
He dangled almost
2,800ft above the ground attached to the line by only an ankle strap.
The pair were joined by
fellow Americans Hayley Ashburn and Scott Rogers who together call themselves
the Moab Monkeys.
The group travel the
world discovering new highlines and BASE jumps.
Highlining is
considered the pinnacle of the slacklining sport, in which people prove their
balancing skills by walking across a polyester or nylon wire is fixed at two
points.
Andy Lewis is a
proponent of 'free-solo' slacklining, where no safety harness is worn.
The mind-blowing feats of the group were
captured by Mr Rogers, from Utah, U.S., who risks his own life while
photographing the incredible moments of bravery.
He said: 'On a scale of one to ten, highlining
is actually pretty safe - but when you do it without a leash, or with only an
ankle leash like Andy, the danger level can reach nine or higher.
'We're very experienced so like to think the
risk is fairly low but we all know the consequences are very high - instant
death in the case of a fall freesoloing or with the ankle leash slipping off.'
He said Mr Lewis had to pull himself back onto
the line after dangling upside down.
He said: 'To get back up from hanging on the
leash Andy had to reach up, grab the leash, and climb up to the line which is
pretty difficult and requires a lot of practice and upper body strength.
'But I have known these guys for years and they
are the best out there - they have some amazing skills and the massive
Brazilian slacklining community were loving every minute of it.
'It's great to travel around the world and
quite literally hang out with your friends meeting new people and watching how
they react to you.
'These were some of the most spectacular
surroundings we have seen and being so high above the city I doubt people could
even see what we were getting up to.'
