Mackinac Bridge view from the top

[MrBananamatic]

Too scarey for me... There is No Way I could walk down the support cables.

[cattaraugus41]

brave - or just plain stupid ! Making a pastie would be safer.

[KiriStarcraft]

OMG my fckin leg is shaking just watching him walk on that without tying the harness LOL

[JLJ061]

Oh hell to the no, screw that!! lol

[swimmerB0B]

couldn't they just drive across like everybody else does?

[EasilyWowed]

I saw this bridge, even from 30,000 feet above. Flying to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Pilot mentioned about looking down to see the 'impressive Mackinac bridge'. He wasn't kidding. I crossed it many, many years ago. It was something 'then' and from almost 6 miles up - moreso.

[shookman34]

I'd probably wuss out, but that would be so sweet to walk down those cables...maybe on a not so windy day lol.

[1D5dozer]

I would pay $1,000.00 to walk on that!

[gatekeeper2012]

thats joe

[Michiganstategem]

yep crazy lol..support Michgans Rare State Gem Chlorastrolite can be found on etsy

[pedrobbastos19]

[r0ckobsession5353]

that looks soooo much fun!!

[MrsKiwi101emo]

I WOULD CRY U R BRAVE

[rrbond07]

Did he detach his clips? Man, no way would I have done that. Get a good gust of wind and it is a long way down!

[carminefast77]

@rrbond07 they have two clips. they always hook one before unhooking the other.

[SwedenStockholm7]

sweaty palms sweaty palms sweaty palms! Soaked socks! i had to look away several times because i was so scared, :(

[TheDb351c]

What people have to do for a living -- not me

[x1gzus1x]

I hope the bridge was designed to carry the massive balls those guys have! lol

[PineRidgeinBreck]

Wow amazing video

[castro90]

fuck. that.

[jennybean12000]

Now that would be the SWEETEST experience!!! COOL!!!!

[carloipo]

0-33 she had an orgasm

[Foltz22]

the guy talking at :24 that says "this is cool" sounds like Mario Impemba the Detroit Tigers Broadcaster.

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

I've invariably been afraid of height as a child.I wouldn't even be where you guys are standing with your camcorder let alone where those guys are seen walking.

[jarejil]

pretty amazing, I am jealous!!

[JohnsonSlanger]

haha 9 thumbs up for for sum poor old lady drove off bridge in her yugo!

[pettyofficer30]

@JohnsonSlanger She didnt drive off shithead! The car was blown off the bridge. This happened in the 1980's anyway and it isn't the first time it happened.

[JohnsonSlanger]

@pettyofficer30 UHHHH, i was actually commentiing on the top comments for this video. U c those couple right at the top?...u c the one that reads..."some poor lady drove off the bridge in her yugo"??? well pay better attention next time dumb shit! and im from MI i dont need ur gayass givin me a history lesson. eat shit n kill urself fag!

[Homynum]

@pettyofficer30 1982. never forgot that man.

[FrozenVulcan]

Jump!

[lljjbj07]

I would love to go to the top of the mackinaw bridge... I've always wanted to and have been across in countless times

[thigirlhockeygoalie]

@lljjbj07at my school two seniors get to go to the top i hope im one of them!

[yzwme586]

the fear of looking down would prolly cause my knees to buckle and id just lose control of my legs while i fall 600 ft to my death

could NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER DO THAT SHIT

[Darkrunner1975]

I wouldn't have even went up there to watch that. FUCK THAT.

[flyboymd82]

I almost passed out just watching this! LOL! Crazy MFers!!

[pettyofficer30]

@flyboymd82 I had a case of vertigo myself watching this.

[ifimlyinimbryan]

15 years ago me and a friend drove across that bridge in his fucking little Ugo or some shit. drove over the metal part, started sliding every time the wind blew.

[smileschx]

Too Cool.

[Squirt2015]

how do they get down!!

[jcbrowns1]

@Squirt2015

You climb down the inside of the towers.

[thesupermariofan16]

i walked that for labor day... 5 miles!

[ami2evil]

...amazing

[86yukon]

@Wk4cocacola please do not bring a sack lunch as the school is providing happy meal courtsy of winn Dixie southern united states division Dallas Texas and if I like your happy meal toy u better trade me don't forget your Mickey mouse sweatshirt ur fuckingfagget as the principal said it will get cold and windyway up their in the clouds one lucky winner will get pushed from the top and hopefully that will be u dumbass

[mageditor2007]

We were really fortunate to be able to go up there. We were doing a photo shoot for a magazine and we were able to get permission from the Mackinac Bridge Authority to go up there. The guys you see walking out on the cables were really nice guys and they we very patient with us even when our knees were shaking! We happened to be there the same day that Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs) was there filming. We didn't get to meet his crew but we did see them filming on the other side of the bridge.

[wk4cocacola]

Hey, how were you able to get up there, were you on a tour?

[imranbmw]

o no.... extremely dangerous

[ividhe]

shakes//



[Nicole4ever74]

i remember when i had to walk across that bridge for a cancer thingy or whatever.

[iMrballer]

forget that id sht my pants

[dratoxify]

lol there is an elevator that goes to the top of those towers.

[pohlcatace14]

That's pretty awesome, I wonder how much the top of those towers sway in that wind that blows through the straits?

[dratoxify]

have you ever been to mackinac?

[pohlcatace14]

Life-long native of Northern Michigan, yes I've been there.

[dratoxify]

if you concentrate hard enough, you can see them sway every once in a while.

[Orangeschpiel]

@dratoxify really?? why don't you type "tacoma narrows bridge" in you tube and then tell me again that the Mackinac towers "Sway".

[shanquilla562]

is the bridge and ferries the only way to get to the UP? (i don't mean going around through WI)

[Orangeschpiel]

@shanquilla562 yes. but you could fly too.

[shanquilla562]

@Orangeschpiel ..Uhm...yea I kinda thought so..lol I guess they have car ferries too right?

[pbmaxno15]

@shanquilla562 No car ferries. No direct passenger ferries from Mackinaw City to St. Ignace either. You must go to Mackinac Island and transfer to another ferry.

[ThePoopdedoop]

@shanquilla562 yeeeeep

[shanquilla562]

@ThePoopdedoop would you walk out on that strand like that? are the people that live in the UP different than the ones that don't? UP looks like it'd be more banjo music and people missing most their teeth

[ThePoopdedoop]

@shanquilla562 Sure people like blue grass country (banjo's and whatnot), hell I like it as well. It's just what some of our parents, or grandparents, or great-grandparents liked. A lotta people up here are missing a lot of teeth because of the fact that we have shitty benefits with our jobs, such as logging, mining, etc. And that's how a load of your cars are made, with the ore that is taken out of the ground here and sent to factories to be turned to steel. I <3 the UP.

[ThePoopdedoop]

@shanquilla562 And yeah, I really would never in my life go on there. Props to the people who are willing to do that.

[shanquilla562]

@ThePoopdedoop Calm down Jethro....lol I was just thinking 'cause it's looks sorta isolated up there in the UP, that maybe down through the years, some of your relatives have inbred and spawned a commune of cretins, try brushing your teeth more, you get a boat there what, once a year? buy more tooth paste or brush your teeth with pine needles, you use pine cones for toilet paper don't you?

[ThePoopdedoop]

@shanquilla562 yeah i apologize for that. my friend saw it and went on a rampage. lol.

[ThePoopdedoop]

@shanquilla562 yes, pine needles work great. but only the fresh green ones. the dead ones break too easily. not gonna lie, i can't say that i've never heard of anyone using a pinecone as TP...which is just sad, haha. gotta watch out for them porky pines though. =P

[thigirlhockeygoalie]

@pohlcatace14 there have been times when they have recorded 70mph winds because they have some instruments up there and thats when they close the bridge and im sure they say a little bit its mainly the cables that move though

[xrisman]

awe hell no,,,,my palms are sweating watching that

[redbulljustice99]

couldent do that shes filming up there lol

[FLINTER1740]

I get the "whillies" just watching this. I cannot count the times I have crossed the Mac and still don't really feel comfortable. I started crossing it on my Harley a few years ago and am more comfortable doing it that way than in my car. I have crossed in every kind of weather. Once coming back from hunting in Dec we were the last escorted convey allowed to cross that night. We were directly behind a semi and the wind actually pushed it up off the wheels. I could never walk the cable

[MrClimate1986]

I don't think I could even get up there to record the video. Scary.

[yostick26]

why didnt he tie off to the cable

[chicomilo]

he did. 2 cables attached to him. He had the left side locked in.

[wadersnutz]

I still freak out going over the mac. I dont know if i could go up there. That's one windy area.

[Cornbuckles]

Ya know what's really weird, I wouldn't be able to drive across that bridge, but I could go up on top and do what those people are doing. I honestly think it's about being able to escape from your car while driving or being in a car on the bridge that freaks me out.

[mygirl22ward]

I cant even cross the bridge, I have a major problem with heights, yea, call me a little girl.... IM 42!!! WHAT IS MY PROBLEM????

[TheAtomic1234321]

wow thats insane, im going across the bridge 2day.

[sassygirl8324]

Someones got to do it! People have died working on the bridge!

[Danielle31662]

i went over that bridge too, like 3 days ago. go Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan!!!!

[BorderCollieFever]

ya, the Soo rocks. =P

[redsalute3]

how you get up there elevator?

[sarahsbackagainbuddy]

omg these guys are fearless or crazy to be up that high,lol.

[kristinmarie95]

i went under the bridge yesterday!

[RaisedOnRadio92]

I went over that bridge today! I was scared out of my mind just being in the car!!!!! O_O

[Neumann21212]

scary shit

[MsCracker1234]

oh mii fucking god!

[gasman396]

I've been up there!!!!!!!!!!!

[yagger7499]

badass, i would do that shit anyday

[Railfan19960]

i'll be scared s#@tless if i fell:D

[nssd70m2]

Nice! I've been over that bridge so many times! 5/5!

[deconstructionist67]

Fuck! I got vertigo from watching that. Right in the pit of my guts.

[gilligan10001]

i would climb up there. the safety harnesses are all you need. not even a pair of balls. that would be a lot of fun and a good workout!

[stlcards905]

i worked on that bridge for #

3 years. loved it. been on those cables a few times. awsome view!!!!!

[cpasseno]

Why does it really look like he was holding his clip instead of having it clipped??? Was that just me that saw that?

[Icewave2007]

Apparently you only clip one of your two safety cables at a time. So yes, he is holding the clip on the right, but the safety harness on the left is attached to the cable.

[sansevieriafilms]

The only time I was ever on it was at 4 AM and it was foggy. So you couldn't really see it. It seemed like it went on forever though...

What a view...

[macmeggo]

Damn that is so cool! I just saw that bridge for the first time a few days ago. I must say, it's much more impressive from this angle.

[sincityskywalker]

Hell!!! I get paid to do that.

[jawharp1992]

I would so do that!

[klyydsdale]

Some poor lady drove off the bridge in her Yugo...

[sparty732]

Because she was a dumbass speeding

[zam120]

ya i was there thst nite came over the big mac 3 hrs later and she was already gone over. that night was WILD windy as hell and with the wind,small car, her speeding, she went over

[shebeeinks]

She didn't drive off, she was blown off. The wind was something else that day. The bridge was swaying a bit and she was driving on the grate part of the road waywhen the wind just pushed her up and over. Poor woman.

[WitchOvAgnesi]

LOL owned.

[nilamarthiel]

Exactly. Leslie Plouhar was a friend of my mother's, and she's been afraid to drive across the bridge ever since. :(

[sr71ablackbird]

@klyydsdale ohhh, geesh, i remember that, I guess that put an end to the yugos, huh?...lol...

[thigirlhockeygoalie]

@klyydsdale yeah us locals say when its windy "Yugo over"

[squirrelgirl567]

I would have crapped my pants if I was up there @_@

[UProckhoundgirl]

my school use to take the seniors up there for gradutation!

[huskyjerk]

I can climb to the 4th rung of a step ladder!

[klyydsdale]

too funny... keep trying, you will make it to the top

[FreedomSoldier23]

what happens if you fall. that would be so freaky i would never do that

[glory789]

I would piss my pants doing that.

[CSXSD70M]

dude i would sooooooo do that!!!!!!!

[bonehead1902]

I whould love to do that.

[Bombardier97]

Hell I would walk that whole thing drunk top to bottom

[coffehyper35]

[coffehyper35]

adviseor yeah i was losing my stomach to they are brave

[coffehyper35]

yeah ok peepols thats cool i would never go up there even if theres a truck with a thousand million wheels about to run over me i would go up on the tower and go on the wires but no thank you//// yes but no

[adviseore]

I was losing my stomach a bit just watching you guys film up there. Absolutely no way in hell I'd go up there.
