To have fun, a group of close to 20 non-professional adventurers in France took on a very radical slackline. The slackline line was stretched at a height of 300 metres (about the height of a building with 200 floors) and was 800 metres in length (the equivalent to a line-up of 21 regular buses).

The slackline was placed between two cliffs in the French Alps on June 8th and had to be stretched out by drones because of the height. Aside from being very courageous, the adventurers also had to face strong winds. To prevent potential accidents, they used safety ropes and belts.
