Topic: Stilt walker


  
  Stilts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walking stilts are poles equipped with steps for the feet to stand on, or straps to attach them to the legs, for the purpose of walking while elevated above a normal height.
Aluminum stilts are commonly used by fruit farmers in California to prune and harvest their peach, plum, and apricot trees.
Stilts have been used for the washing of large windows, the repairing of thatched roofs, and the installation or painting of high ceilings.

 Stilt walking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sylvain Dornon, the stilt walker of Landes, started from Paris on the 12th of March 1891 for Moscow, which he reached after a journey of fifty-eight days.
Although this long journey upon stilts constituted a genuine curiosity, not only to the Russians, to whom this sort of locomotion was unknown, but also to many Frenchmen, walking on stilts, was, in fact, common before the 1870s in certain parts of France.
In the wastes of Gascony stilt walking was formerly a means of locomotion adapted to the nature of the country.
