VIDEO: These Are the Most HARDCORE Stunts Ever Performed!

While most of us would be afraid of doing anything extreme and try our best not to put our lives in danger, there are some that live for this sole purpose. These people can’t live without the thrill and don’t mind risking their life in the process. While they might die, they might also survive and be covered with glory for all eternity.

Accorgind to thefw.com, some seek out fame, while others are addicted to adrenaline and risk. No matter the reasons, stuntmen and stuntwomen have risked life and limb to give us thrills.
Broken bones, burned skin and months in the hospital, or even death, can be the reward for a stunt gone wrong. But when the daring feat is pulled off, money, glory and internet fame are the prizes. Here are some of the craziest stunts ever performed for film, the viewing public, or just because someone felt like doing it.

Robert Craig Knievel (aka “Evel Knievel”) was one of the most daring motorcycle stuntmen ever to straddle a bike. In addition to his numerous jumps in the 1960s and 1970s, he also had the dubious honor of holding the world record for the most broken bones in a single lifetime, at 433.

Knievel wanted to jump the Grand Canyon, but knew the government wouldn’t allow it, so he tried to jump the Snake River Canyon instead. He used a rocket-powered motorcycle, but failed, and landed on the canyon floor.
Philippe Petit, a French tightrope walker, amazed the world in 1974 when he walked between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Making use of a bow and arrow, he and his team shot a fishing line from the South Tower to the North Tower.

After passing larger lines back and forth, they were able to set up the heavy cable needed for the walk.
James Bond knows no fear, nor do his stunt doubles, it seems. In the Bond flick ‘GoldenEye,’ 007 had to jump from the top of a 220-meter Swiss dam all the way to the bottom. This amazing feat was performed by the British stuntman Wayne Michaels, who at the time set the record for the world’s highest Bungee Jump from a solid structure.

Alain Robert, whose fans and the media alike have dubbed “The Human Spider,” really loves to climb.

This Frenchman will climb just about anything, and he doesn’t bother with a safety rope. He has climbed the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Sears Tower in Chicago, the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia, Taipei 101 in Taiwan and countless other man-made structures. Because most of these climbs are against the law, Alain has been arrested numerous times, but that never seems to discourage him from scaling new heights.

These are just a few of the greatest stuntmen of all time. They are all outstanding and are capable of doing things we can’t even dream of. They not only have a lot of guts but they also seem to be really lucky seeing as they don’t get hurt that often even though they risk so much.
