How was it even attached? What the fuck even happened? Who knows?

Just last week my friend tried to rig a slackline to a fountain in the central plaza of a small Mexican town.
Can't seem to get the image to load but you can just imagine.

oh...I see it's quite easy to underestimate the power of a tensioned line...:( seems quite strange to me that a whole section of the wall fell off
whenever I see something like this, it reminds me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8cQnjuXf4o :)

It doesn't matter how many times I see that video I still get a laugh from it.

Damn, I wouldn't expect that to happen, but it does look like a pretty old, crumbling wall. That's a good reminder to be careful what you rig to.
