Think Tank Thursday

Human Ingenuity.

Above is the airbag that allows stunt performers to fall from different heights and the rope/pulley system that makes amazing wire work possible.

We as humans aren't built to fall from heights repeatedly nor do we have the ability to float and flip in the air freely. We could have accepted these limitations and not pursued solutions but we didn't.

Through collaboration, innovation, testing and great sacrifice we have created ways of doing impossible things. In movies, television, commercials, live shows or any other arena requiring spectacular performance, real people are jumping from great heights, flying with grace, dancing with fire, wielding multi ton steel cars with ease or anything else a writer, director, or audience can dream of.

If the drive is there (and more practically, the money) nothing is impossible or out of reach for us as a human race. We are an amazing species with limitless potential.
