She did not actually fly, but used the parasol-like device as a sort of parachute- a very dangerous stunt as it is much too small to support the human frame. One wonders how many crackpot accidents this bit of trickery provoked, like the Franklin Kite and Key myth and more storied- William Tell . one wonders why this dangerous mythololgy persists, when kids can readily imitate these stunts- in the case of Tell, with BB guns or worse..
