Le Mur tombé du ciel #11: Willy Wolf


Willy Wolf was a Polish acrobat, stuntman and athlete who died in 1925 by jumping from the pont transbordeur (transporter bridge) in Nantes (now demolished). He was used to doing such activities, although to enhance the performance he was asphixiated by a fire device he was wearing. He used to sell postcards boasting of his exploits. His legend lives on.
