Free solo climber Alex Honnold will attempt to scale one of the tallest buildings in the world with no safety equipment this Friday in a live Netflix special. But the idea of watching a person risk his life on live TV makes some people uncomfortable and raises questions about what we consider entertainment.

In a recent trailer for Skyscraper Live, Honnold’s wife, Sanni McCandless, acknowledged people’s concerns about her husband free-soloing now that he’s a father to two young children. “This is who Alex is,” McCandless said.

Alex Honnold again will be ascending without ropes. In an interview he considers the impact on his family if something were to go wrong.
