July 27, 2010 is Walk on Stilts Day. The perfect way to celebrate this holiday is to learn the history of stilts and to make your own recycled cans version of stilts.You don't see a lot of stilt walkers. Usually they are found in parades and at circuses. Stilt-walking is an ancient art that only requires a pair of stilts and lots of practice. Stilt-walking is said to have originated in Landes, France. Shepherds took up stilt-walking, as early as the 1800's, as a way to not only save time getting to their scattered flocks but also to navigate areas that were sometimes treacherous. According to Wikipedia: Stilts are poles, posts or pillars used to allow a person or structure to stand at a distance above the ground. Walking stilts are poles equipped with steps for the feet to stand on, or straps to attach them to the legs, for the purpose of walking while elevated above a normal height. In flood plains, and on beaches or unstable ground, buildings are often constructed on stilts to protect them from damage by water, waves or shifting soil or sand. Stilts have been used for many hundreds of years. A few fun and amazing Stilt walking records • Most people to simultaneously walk on stilts: 1908. Doug Hunt and the North Park Collegiate HS students organized a mass stilt walk of 625 people walking 100 metres (328 ft) on 12” peg stilts. • Tallest stilts walked on: 56 feet 6 inches. Roy Maloy of Australia, while wearing an overhead safety wire, took five independent steps on 56 ft. 6 inch stilts weighing 50.6 lbs. each. • Longest stilt walk: 24 hours, 76.17 miles (122.58 km). Zdenek Jiruše of Czechoslovakia covered a distance of 76.17 miles (122.58 km) on stilts within 24 hours on 12 June 1992 in Pelhřimov. Why try stilt or can walking?
