That seems a pretty stupid thing to do. Kind of reminds me of Prof. fate's airplane stunt . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDahrKdv9Co

Yes, I would do this if I trusted the engineering skills of the people who built the equipment. It doesn't look that dangerous. She's wearing a pretty secure-looking harness. I love stuff like that.
