I know this is a kids tv show but there are many reasons why that scene work

1) the kids shouldn't be climbing the sign were was security or something to see if there was any supervision

2) how far did that zip line go I'm it's not suppose to go to that far isn't it like 500 ft from where Jessie was standing and wouldn't Jessie lose her grip espically with all that crap she was wearing?

3) wouldn't the socks burn or rip apart midway or halfway these kids would be dead

4) shouldn't Jessie or the kids face consequences for culataral damage that sign ain't cheap

1. There's no security around the sign. In reality, it's up in the hills and not easily accessible.

2. It was a little unrealistic that Jessie's TV show was filming at the base of the hill of the Hollywood sign, outdoors and not in a studio.

3. Not only that, but Ravi the physically weakest, would have probably let go before reaching the bottom.

4. The sign wasn't damaged. The H fell over and could be erected. I'm sure the Ross' would pay for that.

the only one that of those 4 things that bothered me was #3 .... the other 3 I didn't mind cuz it was a TV show.

In a lot of tv shows and movies they use the same method... using socks to slide from a high point to another point to safety. I am always too afraid to actually try that since I always fear that the line wire I'm sliding on will break and I'd have a huge fall literally breaking bones in my body.

I know it is but it doesn't justify that scene made 0 sense in many ways espically with all these flaws

It was all a green screen and stunts.
