World-record slackliner Faith Dickey had to walk from one speeding truck to another across a highline in Volvo Trucks' new ad. Sounds easy? No, there were high winds. Oh, and if she wasn't fast enough, she'd smash into a mountain.

The stunt director has worked on a couple Pirates of the Caribbean movies, the two new James Bonds, and the last few Harry Potter movies. Volvo also got an Oscar-nominated Hollywood director for the shoot.
