No harnesses...no nets below...free standing hitting a golf ball atop this skyscraper under construction...
There's no way I'd ever do that shite.
Here's the 21st century version with the inclusion of OSHA.

Kevin Sabbagh had never seen the World Trade Center in its completion. He'd known it only as a skeleton of a building, with exposed iron and steel. And he'd known it well -- Sabbagh, a fifth-generation ironworker, helped build the World Trade Center from start to finish. (His great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather helped build the Empire State Building.)
quote:
On September 22, 2012, Sabbagh, a 2-handicap golfer, felt compelled to replicate the famous shot of an ironworker who hit a golf ball off a beam while constructing Rockefeller Center. "I was 100 feet from the top when I posed for this photo," says Sabbagh. "I aimed down Tenth Avenue. I originally wanted to hit the ball, but the wind was howling that day so I couldn't."

I don't know if it's shopped or not, but do you honestly think people can't take old pictures and frick around with them in photoshop currently?

No, I know they can, but I also know this is an extremely well known and iconic photo that has a fairly well known back-story as well. Its definitely not photoshopped.

Yeah, look at this group of "Indians" working on the Rockefeller center back in the 1930s. We all know damn well white people didn't build anything, ever.

I could do it if I found the right beam... with a ledge below it.
