David Blaine: Dive of Death Part 2

[timesquare173]

and goj, I dont agree with you bout the attempted suicide. if it's so, what bout his old stunts? most were done under police's supervision, weren't those? so what are they? assisting him to kill himself illegally? if it was illegal then he would have been caught right after he announce his coming stunt. agree?

[GojiraProgeny]

i suppose...lol.

then again, during his other stunts, the risk of dying wasn't as high and immediate as they were in this stunt. Starvation, water over-absorption, etc. all take time to take it's toll on the body. However, hanging upside-down for extended periods of time, puts your body @ immediate risk of blindness, brain damage, blah blah blah. So, idk.

This whole stunt was kinda far fetched to begin with so, there could be any number of reasons as to why is has to take a "rest" every once in a while. Your probably right though, lol

[dknativepride44]

ya and when he took "rest" he was actually checked by a doctor to see if he was okay so there was no danger in this trick because the doctor wouldn't of let him go back up if anything was wrong

Good footage.... Now it can be said that he could not possibly do the entire thing upside down, or he would die.

[GojiraProgeny]

exactly...

[timesquare173]

I thought totally upside down..

why this?

[GojiraProgeny]

yea so did I....lol

it turns out (I think) that "by law" he has to be right side-up every once in a while (not sure the exact amount of time) or else it is considered a suicide attempt and/or assisted suicide by the crew, which is illegal...

yea....MEGA stupid...
