Daredevil dangles from wire above huge waves

A daredevil's slacklining walk above a series of huge waves saw him hurled off his feet several times.

In Nazaré, Portugal, one risk-taker danced with death as he attempted a dangerous slacklining stunt above some ferociously choppy waves.

The 33-year-old photographer André Botelho, who captured the dramatic scenes last month, said: "It was crazy to watch this guy."

Thankfully for the soaked thrill-seeker, he had attached a safety harness around his body to ensure this wouldn't be his final curtain call.
