One Vol climbs up to release the ropes that have been tied off at about the 25 foot level. This is to keep the kids from playing with them.

Once at the top, they start to rotate the top platform, winding the ropes around a central spindle

And it's a nice soft landing. They are tied to the rope around their waist so it's a simple thing to flip over.

Everyone at a stop. The show is over, with the exception of the Dancer climbing down the pole. He will stop at the 25 foot level to pull up the ropes. They do this about 4 times a day!
