I am a male and I have used a flying harness on stage (as The Ghost of Jacob Marley in Scrooge) and I have to say that they are still a tad uncomfortable :lol: The flying experts could not emphasise enough that the fit around a certain tender area had to be spot on - not "near enough" but spot on!raven said:T=The reason why it was changed to a woman's role in stage productions is because of the flying contraption. In the early days of flying mechinisms the harness, unlike what we see today, was...should we say... "quite uncomfortable" for a male to perform in.
I know all about those harnesses as well. I've worked with ZFX quite a few times on flying effects to know that any actor must truely "act" when they are wearing those things. Ouch! Not nearly as fun as one would think!barnum42 said:I am a male and I have used a flying harness on stage (as The Ghost of Jacob Marley in Scrooge) and I have to say that they are still a tad uncomfortable :lol: The flying experts could not emphasise enough that the fit around a certain tender area had to be spot on - not "near enough" but spot on!
I ended up with bruising - on my sides. *Phew*
