Bear Grylls, former 'Man vs. Wild' star, ended the Olympic torch journey with a very exciting, daredevil move today.

According to E! Online, Grylls zip-lined over the river and across the Tyne Bridge in England and even managed to keep it lit, ending the show with a fireworks display.

They report that Grylls was nervous about holding the flame near the rope and wasn't sure if the flame would even hold out in the wind, but all went well.

The large crowd that gathered to watch the ordeal was certainly pleased at how Grylls ended the exciting traditional torch relay.
