Stuntman makes history by becoming first person to cross into another continent on tightrope --[Reported by Umva mag]

A TIGHTROPE walker has made history as the first person to cross into another continent on a slackline. Jaan Roose, 32, crossed the Bosphorus Strait, a natural divide between Europe and Asia.

During Sunday’s stunt he battled against 13mph winds and 23C heat. Roose said: “Istanbul’s weather and the wind conditions were tricky, but that’s what makes it exciting. “Each performance brings its own set of challenges. It’s about adapting, staying focused, and trusting in your preparation and skill. I made history, so I am very happy!” Hollywood stuntman Roose previously crossed the Messina Strait between Sicily and mainland Italy on a slackline, a looser version of the traditional tightrope. In 2021, The Sun told the story of Makhmud Suanbekov. The acrobat plunged 24ft during his high wire act in front of a packed audience during the festive period in the Siberian city of Tyumen.  The daredevil had balanced his mother Sairakan Suanbekov, 56, on his head for the risky performance. But he horrifyingly slipped and crashed to the floor, much to the horror of spectators who can be heard screaming in shock. Suanbekov miraculously managed to pull himself up as others rushed to his aid, while his terrified mother looked on in horror. Unbelievably, the circus said that the 33-year-old did not break any bones during his terrifying fall. His recovery took almost a year.
