Then posted by me to wtf_nature, the copy/pasted here.

Human built WTF among a spectacular bit of nature. Who's afraid of heights?

If the embedded video isn't working here's a link directly to the site.

El Caminito del Ray (also known as El Camino del Ray) means "The King's Little Walk". It was constructed to provide a walkway over the falls for workers building dams on the river.

The walk has been officially closed since 2000 due to a spate of deaths. But of course, some thrillseekers still get in and walk the trail. Most of the way the only thing between you and death is a wire trailing along the cliff face.

Doesn't look *that* bad, there are alot of rock climbers who hang around that area, and that kind of pathway would be a stroll in the park for them! If it was better maintained it would be a huge tourist trap.

I think my heart stopped a couple of times while watching that. He was walking on beams with nothing to hold onto while holding a video camera! HOW DID HE NOT DIE?!
