David Blaine Upside Down “Dive Of Death” Cheating
David Blaine’s latest stunt is being criticized by fans who claim the illusionist is cheating by taking ten-minute rest breaks every hour.
The thrill-seeker is presently hanging over Central Park’s Wollman Rink. David ignored repeated doctors’ warnings that this stunt could be dangerous, is taking breaks because he feels like his head it is “about to explode-” plus he needs to make occasional trips to the restroom.
“It’s cheating,” Chris Pirri, 24, of Long Island, told the New York Daily News on Wednesday. “I’ve been here ten minutes and already saw him take a break.”
“I’m not going to pee all over myself to satisfy those people. It’s pretty hard-core, worse than I thought,” a defiant David says of the cheating accusations.
David will end his 60-hourhang over New York’s Central Park on a live ABC special later this evening.

I have to agree. I can understand how he needs to go pee and he feels his head is going to explode… but seriously isn’t that a major part of the endurance stunt that he promised the public?
On a side note, his breaks are longer than 10 minutes… particularly at night when nobody is around to watch him. I stopped by Tuesday night at around midnight and saw him standing up-right on a platform. I was literally there for 30 minutes and didn’t see him upside down at all the entire time.
This is definitely one of his weakest stunts compared to the other ones.
