We tend to think that female hysteria is something new… but it’s been around since forever. There’s gotta be something hugely wrong with the guys involved with this too, to even consider letting them do it.
If you believe history (and who doesn't, right?) only ten wing walkers have ever been killed while walking a wing. Maybe more accurately, while falling off a wing and landing a bit too hard on the old terra firma. Now me, I've never tried it. People only watch wing walkers in the hopes that they'll suffer a costume malfunction or that they'll slip on a banana peel and finish their act with a graceful swan dive into the tarmac, or both.
If you have the time and inclination, watch The Great Waldo Pepper with Robert Redford. The flight scenes are excellent! Nice photo, by the way.
Think that's crazy, check this out.

Wing walking. It was a thing back then.
