Human pyramid building by the boys gymnastic group, Clifton Church of England, Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Clifton is a small rural township bisected by a railway line. It is a quiet and peaceful service centre for the surrounding rich and prosperous agricultural area where the economy is dominated by cattle, cereal crops, sunflowers and honey. The town has been used as a setting for a number of movies including, most famously, the 1983 TV miniseries, The Thornbirds, starring Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward.

    A human pyramid is an acrobatic formation of three or more people in which two or more people support a tier of higher people, who in turn may support other, higher tiers of people. People above the bottom tier may kneel or stand on the shoulders, backs or thighs of the people below them. Typically, the number of people in each tier is one greater than the tier immediately above it, resulting in a triangular structure reminiscent of the formation's namesake. For practical reasons, lighter people are often positioned higher in the formation and stronger, heavier people are located closer to the base. Human pyramids are performed in various activities, including cheerleading and in circus acrobatics. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_pyramid

    This shot was taken a split second before hilarity ensued.

    Well, at least he's going to land on the side with the cushion.
  • Chris said:
    Odd caption. They didn't copy the wrong spelling of athletes as "athlets" as it is written on the original photo (that's the policy in some places), but they did their own spelling version instead, viz, "atheletes". I blame the Greeks. They started it all — phthsis, indeed!
  • Alex Behr said:
    yeah, fix the typo on the photo title.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks! We'll fix the typo in the source data and reload the description
