Yes, a pretty good vertical stunt.

In the Half-Time performance of the SuperBowl yesterday, the starring
performer appeared to jump off a platform near the ceiling of the stadium.
She did this jump Australian-style and descend fairly rapidly on 2 steel cables
attached to her waist at tiny swiveling connectors similar or identical to
those used by circus acrobats.
I do not know how much of that was the illusion of photography.
But she appeared to me to jump from 180 feet high and land on a tiny platform
that was 35 feet in the air and land accurately and smoothly.
The cables then smoothly layered her to the main stage 30 feet below.
I have to assume there was a fancy system of pulleys and winches and motors
hidden above the platform she leaped off of.
I was impressed. It would be fun to do in a cave, but I am sure I exceed the
weight-limit.
