Henry Roland : ウィキペディア英語版
Henry Roland

Henry Roland, also known as D.D. Roland, was an American and daredevil and "human fly" who became famous for free climbing buildings around the country in the 1920s and 1930s. He began his high flying antics in 1924 to public acclaim. Roland identified himself as ''The Human Fly'', a name that was also used by several other performers with similar acts.
==Career==
Roland traveled the country with his act and climbed buildings as far apart as Texas and Montana.
Roland's high profile stunts included climbs of the Cleveland Hotel, the Davis County Courthouse,〔 the Kearny County Courthouse, Allentown National Bank, Roland's 1926 climb of the Tribune Building in Tampa, Florida attracted more than 15,000 viewers. Roland survived one highly publicized fall in his career: "he fell from the third floor of the McAlpin Hotel in New York City. He crashed through an awning on the way down and this broke the force of the fall. It nearly cost him his life, however, and only after many months in a hospital was he able to continue his dare devil occupation." Even a close brush with death could not keep Roland from performing, and he worked to make his shows ever more thrilling after his return.
