Seems like a fairly large miscalculation to have a 19 degree angle vs. 15.


From the Tribune:

Wallenda’s uncle, Michael Troffer, said the unpredictable winds have made engineering the rope more difficult than expected.

“We are not as ready as we usually like to be,” said Troffer, who designed the rope and is the chief engineer. The weather on Friday brought high winds, snow and extreme cold, delaying the set up of the high wires.

The team decided to stretch the rope further than expected because of the wind. That led to the incline being at a 19-degree angle instead of 15 degrees.

The guy has built up a lot of good will with Chicago spectators, but it would quickly be forgotten if they found out he eats ketchup on hot dogs. #chicagopriorities

Last set of "twin towers" a tight-rope walker navigated between ended up a pile of rubble.
