No As. I just thought you'd like this picture. Makes me nervous just seeing it

No thanks I have a fear of heights!!! She is much more brave than me!!!

Hights don't bother me, it's that falling thing

It's not even the falling thing - it's the sudden stop at the end.

I’ll wager she was an exciting companion. Perhaps emotionally bewildering but not boring.

Must have been a thing at about that time. We used to have a company "Skipping Girl Vinegar". They had a neon sign similar to what she is doing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skipping_Girl_Sign

Looks like about 1948. Where are all the people down below watching this stunt?? Years ago, I had a job working on very high antenna's, not much safety ropes either. Spent many hours atop the Hancock Tower & the Prudential Tower in Boston erecting 20' paging antennas on their roof tops. The cars below looked like tiny ants. I quit that job after 3 years- couldn't take it anymore.

I am sure that is an OSHA approved platform.
