Any activity has a limit. These people overstepped the boundaries and the limits and paid the ultimate price. RIP Jane wicker. The crash pictures and footage of Jane and pilots death were horrible.
Imagine for a second that you had the ability to move through time at will. So as you see events unfold, you can't change what happens but you can go back and have a conversation with the people involved and inform them of what is about to happen to them. Imagine if she were to say she will go through with it anyways even after being told what the future is going to end up being like. Maybe this is a silly and pointless exercise of the imagination but since we never know what is in the future for us, it would be interesting to be able to make that choice even after knowing. Would she still get on that wing, that day, knowing what the result would be?
Retrospective View: I think the most important thing this video shows is how deluded one can be about some things. All three interviewees could not see what was so obvious to the interviewer: THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! Double checks simply delay the occurrence; they do not eliminate the danger. She may have been wearing sneakers during her walks but, in reality, she was "walking barefoot on broken glass". Something bad was going to happen sooner or later, and it did.
I'm sorry ~ "Wingwalking" is just such a reckless and needless pursuit of entertainment..again no disrespect to Jane, just thinking of her two children. Why? do this, it's flat out dangerous and should be banned.
A very strange relationship was shared by this trio. For them to be involved in a dangerous program such as they were, suspicions are bound to arise. There didn't seem to be any trouble with the aircraft that fatal day. Nobody but the mechanic can clarify anything now.
Kirk Wicker was very daring in his own right. He flew the plane while his ex did wing walking. NO WAY would I do that! If Jane had experienced an accident (i.e.. fell off) during an act and died he would have been immediately THE PRIME SUSPECT even if it was "only" an accident. He would have been a marked man the rest of his life even if he was not prosecuted. Now, I wish to state unequivocally that he DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER DEATH! He is an innocent man.
18.38 " wow, I just saw something (this show) I may never see again"...prophetically speaking, pal, no one now ever will. This act IS so dangerous - yet our great freedom in the USA is to not prevent people from engaging in it if they so choose - stupidity not with standing. God bless her memory. Hope she & pilot flyer had their faith IN Jesus Christ!
8:00 minute mark is where pilot talks about his biggest concern, which involves the same maneuver that happened in the crash.

Wow...right aileron/right rudder.. Haunting answers to a forthcoming question?

You wish you could just tell them not to do it any more, helpless feeling. RIP man, sad.
RIP. Question at 7:53 is scary.
basically at 07:33 the interviewer is saying to them as an aero dynamic point of view this is a very dangerous manouvre
Hmm, interesting. Had not thought of that angle. Thanks for the clarification.
Kirk's comment beginning at 8:10 is chilling; considering what happened in Dayton.
Who is "him" that she may have been cheating on? Which one of them are you referring to, her "ex" or her "next"?
7:33 mark... prophetic.
rip
RIP Jane

Maybe so, but bad things don't happen to everyone. Still sad though.
