Candela claims that he trained for years in order to prepare for his stunt. His girlfriend, the one who snapped the photos, was apparently hysterical because of the danger he was putting himself in. Regardless, Candela couldn't back down. He was committed to completing this stunt and displaying his achievement to the world. His stunt was performed on the Pedra do Telegrafo cliff in Brazil.
Luis Fernando Candela hanging from his feet over a 300 foot cliff. Wow.
Candela hanging from the cliff once again. This guy apparently has no fear.
Another angle of Candela hanging from the same cliff. He must be nuts to do something like this.
Other people decided to follow suit and match Candela's stunt.
Another brave fellow hanging from the cliff. Is there a trampoline beneath the cliff ?
Well, this was probably their last kiss...
Why is he holding this child over the cliff!?
Wait, something has to be up. This cliff can't be as dangerous as it looks. I mean, this man is holding his son over the cliff.
Busted, Luis.
Looks like it wasn't a massive cliff after all. Candela didn't necessarily lie. The beach really is 300 meters from the rock. He just failed to mention that the rock is actually 1 meter above the ground and that he probably didn't need to train at all for this.
The cliff is now a popular tourist attraction.
Due to Luis' stunt, the "cliff" has actually become a popular tourist attraction. It's deemed "the ultimate selfie experience." With the right angle, you sure bet it is.
A close up of the drop distance.
It must be quite the drop... For an infant. Needless to say, Luis was caught in his lie and exposed to a grand level. He may not be a daredevil, but he sure is deceptive. Unfortunately, that's over and he's not looking like much of a tough guy anymore.
