The strap was brought by a drone between the two high points. Benoit Brume is not alone, he is accompanied by 17 other followers of the highline (walking on a strap).

A group that helped him stretch this XXL elastic strap. A difficult exercise, with the strength of the arms. You also have to adapt to the wind. Benoit Brume will be of course attached so as not to fall. He should perform the crossing in about 40 minutes there and back. He has been practicing this discipline for 10 years.
