That's gotta hurt!

I saw some street theatre in Covent Garden yesterday, and managed to snap the highlight of the show. I'm pretty sure that having a 90kg man (his admission) stood on top of some spikes, on top of you, has got to hurt! I could hardly watch, but the performer seemed to be pleased that the stunt hadn't drawn blood... this time. - Lucy

Ouch! Great POV.

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Oh my, he is brave, I guess it all leverage. LOL

[Janny]

Yeeeeouch!

[CINDY JOHNSON]

wow great street shot, a little painful

[Denise fuller]

Super street shot

[gloria jones]

Neat street shot.

[Pyrrhula]

Great street theater candid shot. (Don`t try this at home)

[Margaret Obey]

Great candid

[Rose]

oh wow brave man! cool candid

[Dianne]

I didn't notice the man standing on top until I really looked again and read your commentary - crazy things some people do to entertain us.

[Richard Sayer]

I love these little street cameos Lucy - it's all done with smoke and mirrors you know!

[bkb in the city]

Wow that is quite the performance

[Tony]

There is probably some science that ensures he isn't injured but it is something I wouldn't like to test. Well spotted and captured.

[Colin Fawsett]

Looks rather painful. Great shot.

[Kate]

Ouch Lucy! That little kid in the background looks very concerned.

[Doug]

Great shot

@juliac Thanks Julia. I could hardly watch! -Lucy

@cathrinemitch Haha, he did tell the man stood on him not to jump! - Lucy

[Fisher Family]

@jannyography It made me shiver at the time! - Lucy

[Fisher Family]

@pittcj17 The poor guy was covered in holes after!!! - Lucy

@pyrrhula Indeed Ferry! He did say that to everyone! - Lucy

[Fisher Family]

@ceilidh Thanks Margaret - Lucy

[Fisher Family]

@silverhorn Thanks Rose. I couldn't watch! - Lucy

[Fisher Family]

@dide Yeah, he was there for 40 mins and didn't really do too much else... but this was impressive! - Lucy

[Fisher Family]

@vignouse Thanks Richard. I'm not sure how many mirrors there were, when I went up to him at the end he was covered in little holes! I agree there'll be some pretty precise physics involved in the thickness of the pins and such - Lucy

[Fisher Family]

@bkbinthecity He certainly suffers for his art! - Lucy

[Fisher Family]

@tonydebont Thanks Tony. Yes, I think someone did some careful physics when making those pin boards! - Lucy

[Fisher Family]

@bristol_colin Thanks Colin. I was too nervous to watch properly! - Lucy

[Fisher Family]

@kt8ird That's how most of the audience felt I think! - Lucy
