Seen those views before online. Looks much scarier than it actually is. I have read interviews from past Tinks who have made the ride and they say after getting past the first time, its a breeze. There is an initial shove out the opening by a helper to help get momentum going down the line. The entire distance is traveled in about 30 seconds and at speeds of 25-30 mph. There are 2 techs waiting at the end to help Tink come in for a landing and disembark.
There are a lot of mats and helpers on top of Tomorrowland Terrace to stop her/him. :)

Fun fact: the first flying Tinkerbell at Disneyland (1961) was a tiny 71 year old former circus performer.
Can osteoporosis preclude a person from being Tinkerbell in a Disney Park or do they require a performer to sign some kind of waiver? Do they get "hazard" pay for being Tinkerbell for the day? If not, they should.
