Touting a new record of the world’s highest slackline stunt, Andy Lewis walks a line in this video strung between two hot air balloons hovering 4000 feet off the sand.

Lewis has a parachute on in case he slips. It’s shot point-of-view with GoPro HERO3+ cameras. Watch to the end to see the vertigo-inducing way he gets back to Earth.
