Written on back of photo: "Precise timing is important for this stunt. Bud Parkland and Jim Felix, with backs to camera, have just jumped on the springboard to catapult Jack Herem into the air. Compleating an aerial sommersalt he will light in sitting position in the chair - he hopes! Holding the chair on a pole is Kenny Drinkhohn. Ray Dennison, circus director, mans the ropes fastened to Jack's safety belt." Date is circa.
