hope he is eating a balanced diet!

I guess the stairs are broke as well.

Gotta love the pole position

I do hope that his last name is “Wallenda”.;-D

Wouldn’t it be easier and safer to use the stairs?

One of the Wallendas heading to their second job.

How is poor bleeb going to get off that ledge he’s trapped on???

That’s why I like escalators. When an escalator breaks… it just becomes stairs!

How does he get back up?

A funambulist just trying to get to work…walking a tight rope both at and away from work.

Where is the net?

A zipline would probably be safer, and more fun.

They are replacing the elevators with gym climbing ropes; Less maintenance and lower operating costs. I have seen a cordless drill modified to climb ropes.

Of all the things I wanted to do and adventures I have ever dreamed of having, tight rope walking is one of the few things I specifically don’t want to do or watch anyone else do. Honors to those who do, do it. But, not me brother. I had enough trouble with the slide for life.

Of course, if he is going down, they can untie the rope from the other end.

Cute, but a little extreme, I think…

You have to wonder what type of setup they have for going up.

I prefer Batman’s grappling hook

Elevators don’t run BETWEEN buildings.

Everyone stares when you don’t use the stairs. How ’bout that? They went spat!
