It’s awesome, but the shots are way sped up. Look at the people on the field instead of the stands.

THAT is the _Caminito del Rey_ in Spain. I guess the King of Spain liked to get out and do a little hiking now and then. Looks like train maintenance has suffered over the subsequence centuries.

Now that I think of it, I see what you mean. I was thinking more of the ingredients she chooses (mostly pre-packaged), her techniques (seem aped), and the ingredients-in-combination (some adversarial instead of complimentary).

OK, so I’ve enjoyed watching all the videos in this thread, but that is the first one to actually make me say “Holy Crap” out loud, several times. It literally made me sick to my stomach. I kept yelling at the screen for him to stop. I was sure he was a dead man. It’s just . . .

Well, I have to admit that [Bikini Baker](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCoxmru38Xs#t=0m47s) can still give me a chill or two when the lights are out (you see that black shape at the base of the water column at 57 seconds? Apparently, that’s the USS _Arkansas_. Upended. :eek: ).

For a slightly less-horrifying form of terrifying, you’ve got a [Spitfire flyby](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX629ZjWD68). I think the guy on camera puts it quite well.

So I guess there is no OSHA or Health & Safety in Spain then. Why would anyone choose to walk on that?

Same reason people ride roller coasters. I suspect for every 10 people who see that and recoil in stomach-clenching horror, 10 others (also experiencing the stomach clenching, btw) replay it and wish they could finagle a way to go there and do it themselves.

I can’t imagine why comments are turned off on her videos – I can’t see anyone posting anything but "thank you"s for the cooking tips.

First of all that video didn’t make me go “holy Crap!”  
Second of all I’ve seen it before, and I was underwhelmed then  
Third Please don’t make me chase links. Would it really have been that hard to add a one line statement telling me what the link was?
