Karl wallenda was part of the Flying Wallendas family who were a famous european family with the high wire act, the family lost a number of members when they fell performing the 7 man pyramid high wire act years ago.

Later, in 1978, karl wallenda died falling off a wire in brazil (i think it was?) seems the clips with original audio have been removed from youtube and this is the only one i can find for now.


apparently this video was shown on the news and received many complaints from users and after that news reporters had to warn viewers if any videos showing anything graphic would be shown next.


Edit : from wiki.

Karl Wallenda (January 21, 1905 - March 22, 1978) was the founder of The Flying Wallendas, an internationally known daredevil circus act famous for performing death-defying stunts without a safety net.

Death

Despite being involved in several tragedies in his family's acts, Wallenda continued with his stunts. In 1978, at age 73, Wallenda attempted a walk between the two towers of the ten-story Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on a wire stretched 37 metres (121 ft) above the pavement, but fell to his death when winds exceeded 48 kilometres per hour (30 miles per hour). The Wallenda family attributes the tragedy to "several misconnected guide ropes along the wire" and not the windy conditions. A film crew from WAPA-TV in San Juan taped the fall, and the video, featuring anchorman Guillermo Jose Torres' anguished narration of the fall, circled the world. Rick Wallenda went back the following year and completed the walk successfully.
