He was iched by thousands of people in the car park below, The French Spiderman, as he is called, has climbed some of the world's highest buildings, including the Empire State Building in New York and the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.

Later, when he got bored with climbing mountains, he looked for something more dangerous, He doesn’t use any ropes or safety nets, and he doesn’t wear ‘a helmet. He just uses his own hands and feet. He's had a few accidents, and he's broken several bones, including his skull. So why does the married father of three do it?

This area is called ‘Tornado Alley’ because there are over 1,200 tornadoes there every year: They usually happen in spring, when cold, dry air from Canada in the north meets warm, wet air from the Gulf of Mexico in the south. ‘Why does Enrique do it?

In 1992, a cargo ship was hit by a storm in the Pacific Ocean ‘Twelve of its containers were thrown into the sea by the waves. Inside one of the containers there were 29,000 plastic bath toys yellow ducks, green frogs, and blue turtles. Since then, the toys have been carried around the world by ocean currents, They have een found in Australia, South America, and even in Europe. The toys have been studied by scientists and we've learnt alot about ocean currents. However, itis not all good news.
