Wingwalking is quite dangerous, otherwise everyone would do it and no one would pay to see. These guys are different, just like circus performers, stunt men, mx freestylers. There are tons of people out there risking their lives for entertainment. The money is lucrative, and if you consider they do 30-40 shows a year the failure rate is actually pretty low. It has been a bad year for wingwalking, as Amanda Younkin was fatally injured when her husbands plane caught fire, and they both worked with this guy. Kyle is having a bad year but is back in the air with a new act, no wingwalker, They all know the risks and get right back on the horse.
