Our first reaction watching this video was “Why? Why would anyone EVER choose to do such a heart-pounding stunt?” Our second reaction was “Well that’s pretty cool.” In this spot for Volvo by Sweden-based Forsman & Bodenfors, slackliner (tightrope walking over nylon rope that stretches and sways) Faith Dickey moves between two Volvo trucks as they hurtle down a highway. If that wasn’t nerve-wracking enough, she has a limited amount of time before the trucks enter a tunnel, snapping the rope and sending her to possible doom. Watch if you dare.
