I would have never thought that those concrete steps could hold the elephants weight.

Chic,
Yes Sir that skinny ramp is trouble looking for a place to happen.
no braces under anything.

All ya gotta do is tell the elephants to step lightly !

I don't remember that ramp at all, I would have sworn they descended the winding staircase the way they went up.
This of course is a half grown "Anna May".

Why no headgear on the lady

I wondered about that myself.
I noticed that Lydia's was missing on the way up so we might have left them in the wings between shows since we did three or four a day.

In correction I notice that the

ramp is made of long planks & not

of plywood likely 2 by plenty's
