The SC flag on the statehouse grounds has no rope and pulley system. I assume to make it harder to do what this woman just did.
Thanks for the info. You made me go look at the photo.
There does seem to be some sort of rope near her hands... yet it appears also that she is sitting on a rope or the rope is wrapped around her buttocks.
Weird, her body is relaxed as if she's sitting on something, there is no muscle tension visible.
She should have sat on top of the flag pole and stayed there.
