    I could be misremembering, but I believe this is a bit of photography trickery. I think there is actually a platform under his feet and it’s not as far down as it seems.

      idk about this but after seeing the trickery with the mirror I can believe anything.

        I found an article on other photos taken during that time. It doesn’t mention this one specifically but it does say there were a whole series of photos staged on beams during construction of the RCA building. It was a promotional photo shoot.

        Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

        trickery with the mirror

        Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

        I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

    Meanwhile the photographer: casually hangs on the second thingy but with only one hand (the other one is occupied by the camera)
