I'm glad it was her and not me. She is very brave.

We have done abseiling but the drop has been a "touch" less!

Wow! That's right up there with the guys that service the tall tower antennas!

Cool Lady.

I did hear some years ago it was an Australian company that had the contract to clean Burj Khalifa's windows.

She certainly has the balls for it, me i now get the wobbles just working on the roof of my house.

I reckon if they could get me up there, I would be worried about some poor bugger who was looking up after I'd had a big chunder. At what speed would the Peas and Carrots be travelling at by the time they got to the bottom.

32 feet per second squared I think, to an unremembered maximum? Thinking of Terminal Velocity, which can be different for each object and its orientation

Since the object is accelerating, the speed that it is traveling and and therefore the distance that it covers each second is changing. That's why the average speed needs to be figured in. Example: the object starts from zero and accelerates to 32 feet per second in one second. You take the initial speed and the final speed during that second, add them together and divide by two to get the average, then multiply by the time, one second. The average speed was 16 ft/sec so during the first second the object traveled 16 feet. If the object then stays at that speed, it travels 32 feet every second thereafter. Whenever an object is accelerating, you have to take the average speed times the amount of time accelerating to find the distance traveled during that time. If the object accelerates from zero at 32 feet per second, every second (32 ft/sec^2) for 3 seconds, it will be at 96 feet per second in speed but will only have traveled half the distance that it would if it was at that speed from the beginning. That's because the average speed during that time is 48 ft/sec. 48 feet times 3 is 144 feet. Now, if the object stops accelerating after three seconds and stays at 96 ft/sec for the next three seconds, it will cover 288 feet. That's because its average speed during the final three seconds is 96 ft/sec.

If you look closely at the cards the girl is shuffling, there are only two cards so she doesn't drop them. The text is mapped on later.

photo shop maybe ??

In some 3D software. You use say, the four corners of the card as a reference point, then map an image onto that position. You can then allow for not only the change of the basic position, but also the angle relative to the camera & rotation of the card.

Since it is black text, not a lot needs doing. But if needed you can map in reflections & the reflection can move if the angle of the surface changes in relation to the camera.

Turns out the lady who was the star of the show is not an Emirates flight attendant, her name is Nicole Smith Ludvik, a sky diving instructor and stunt woman.

Certainly an impressive feat, got my attention.
