A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    This was posted in 2009 and the videos are not hosted on BME. They have obviously changed the urls that linked to that video. I wouldn’t call it a rip off, it obviously was right when it was originally posted based on the comments people have left.
