A stunt wouldn't be this challenging. Compromise on a "feat?"
I actually agree with the rest of what you said. Her parent's should have known better than to let her attempt this during the wrong time of year.
But I will always go back to my favorite Frank Zappa quote:
"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible."
