More festivities in the park on the weekend. Amistad175 celebrates 175 years of German-Guatemalan friendship, and as part of that, there were slackline demonstrations in the park, as well as opportunities to try very low level slacklines with a safety person. The low lines were very popular with the kids in the park.
The most remarkable feat was this German guy, Alexander Schultz, who walked a slackline 15 metres high, no pole. His goal was to do it 175 times in two days, but I don't know if he achieved his goal.
I'm having trouble uploading my video of when he fell. You can hear the gasps of horror. His harness did its job, and he was able to quickly climb back on the slackline, quite a physical and emotional challenge I would think. Lots of applause.
