The 30-year-old Russian athlete Sergei Botsov has shocked the world that claims that it is a world-first stunt: with the performance of gymnastics flip under a warm air balloon at a height of 1,500 meters-with the performance of gymnastics flip-with zero safety devices. This is right – no parachute, no harness, and no other chance.
Swinging from a bar suspended under the balloon, Boysovsov carried out a series of courageous turns and aerial maneuvers in the midar, which completely depends on the skills, power and steel veins. He described this effort as “no insurance”, which means that a slip will not mean some death.
“I wanted to test the boundaries of human ability and fear,” Boyatsov said. “There was no place for error.”
Death -avoiding performance has attracted global attention, amazing amazement, mistrust and debate. Some people are calling it a groundbreaking achievement in extreme sports, while other people raise questions on the risk included in such stunts without any safety measures.
Whether you see him as fearless or careless, one thing is clear: Sergei Botsov has taken extreme games to a new level – literally.
