Niagara Falls Window Cleaner In A Fix

Up he goes.
Spotted in Niagara Falls, Canada recently a window cleaner working from a suspended platform, who has his own way of fixing a jammed line. In the words of our reader – “whilst walking down the street the other day, we came across this fella whose cradle winch seem to have packed up!” “Without thinking he just scrambled up the rope and sorted the problem out, then carried on working.” “What was he thinking of!” Since putting this story up we have discovered that the window cleaner in question is actually a dummy model on the side of the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum in Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls and to the looks of things it would seem we believed it!

Robert Ripley, the franchise founder who has museums worldwide, was an exceptional flamboyant character who travelled the world collecting artefacts and writing stories about his weird and unusual findings. His museum’s are definitely for the fans of the bizarre and unbelievable with the museum in Niagara Falls designed to look like the fallen Empire State building with King Kong standing on top of it! But that's still not to say we are overly impressed with the platform he is using, no toe-boards and a floor that looks ready to give - its no wonder why he is climbing out of that death trap!

Halfway up.
Almost there.. apparently he fixed the problem and returned to the platform.
