This is a gasp-inducing stunt that even the bravest of daredevils might find a little tough to watch.<\/p>\n
In a collaboration between slacklining group, Skyliners, and\u00a0Spanish hot air balloon company,\u00a0Globus Kon Tiki,\u00a0this result is a nail-biting video that shows the team attempting to cross a slackline between two hot air balloons at altitude.<\/p>\n
One particularly stomach-curining moment shows a point-of-view of one of the group climbing from the basket out onto the line and then attempting (and ultimately failing) to walk a few metres between the safety of the two balloon baskets over a drop of several thousand feet.<\/p>\n
The closing credits of the video explains that no one managed to successfully cross the slackline, but the group is planning to try again.<\/p>\n
