Post by Gondola Project

We have no clue where this is or when exactly the picture was taken but seeing something like this is definitely a reminder of how much cable technology has advanced and evolved since then.

More fun than a barrel of monkeys!

  1. Scary how that child looks very vulnerable on that lift!
  2. Brave kid ;)
  3. ...1957 No safety seats for kids in cars or even belts ...no safety norms in schools everywhere , no political correctness, corporal punitions commonplace. Wonder how we survived :-)
  4. I'd ride that thing! (: looks adventurous...
