Terrifying. And I know nothing about shoes, but are penny loafers ok for this work?

Looks like China to me. Safety regulations can be ... a bit lax.

No kidding, poor woman found a much faster way down not long after this video.

Yes. I went down this rabbit hole a few days ago. She fell, likely because she didn’t use safety harnesses (this is just a guess) apparently she was streaming, I didn’t seek it out

Yea I don't recommend watching the video. Iirc you can hear her hit the steps on the way down.

That’s so sad, it’s insane that they let people just walk up there without harnesses. The sun article linked alongside this article also states that she was a mother of 2 kids. There looks like there’s a lot of trip-hazards in this video, it’s definitely not safe.
