David Blaine’s stunt filled with standup breaks
Posted on September 24th, 2008 by Hot MommaDavid Blaine’s ‘hanging upside down for 60 hours’ stunt is not quite as we advertised and what seemed to be commonly reported. As we originally reported doctors said the stunt was fraught with danger and could cause a range of serious problems or even death. Well Blaine apparently is mitigating those risks by taking lots of right side up breaks! (checkout the video above)
Spectators weren’t aware this was part of the deal and were shocked and angered to find the death defier standing up. A representative for the ‘magician’ has made a backpedaling statement to explain the situation. She said Blaine never intended to stay upside down for 60 consecutive hours:
“About once an hour he has to come down for a medical check, to stretch, and to relieve himself, because even David Blaine can’t do that upside down. He has said all along that there will be times when he must get his head above his heart. The doctors told him if he doesn’t do that, he will die.”
However, observers claims that Blaine took 3 breaks during the hour they were watching him. Anyway this newest Blaine spectacle is set to conclude in an ABC television special Wednesday night when Blaine takes what he calls the “Dive of Death” and falls 44 feet to the ground. No doubt what he does is remarkable and dangerous, but not quite the superhuman feat we thought it to be.
