Chinese tightrope walkers set high-wire stunt record

Report by Sophie Foster

Chinese tightrope walker Adil Hoshur, together with two apprentices, has created a new world record for simultaneously walking along a 1400-meter long wire.

The trio performed death-defying stunts, such as walking over one another, as they travelled along the tightrope above the Dehang Canyon in China's Hunan Province.

The 41-year-old record-breaker began walking ropes at the age of ten.
