    Milly Alcock says the tuning fork harness for Supergirl's flying scenes was brutal. It squeezed her pelvis so hard she ended up with mad bruises. She wore multiple layers under the suit, but the way you lie flat and spin still presses everything out. She described it as fun but quite painful.

    What was the flying like? Because I saw like, they had a rig for Superman that they use. Were you using something similar to that? Yeah. What was the rig? It was kind of like he was flying and it was like he was on this thing. Is it tuning for? That's so bad. I've done like all of the harnesses, out of all of them, that one is really painful because the way that it works is that you have your harness on. You wear the harness under your costume as well. So it's just like, and the suit is tight. So you just look crazy. Yeah. So there's two harnesses? There's one underneath the suit? There's like four. So you wear like under armor, just so you don't get friction burn or whatever. And then you put the harness on. And then you put like a different, they'll make like a special stunt suit. And there are multiples. And you put, which is like your costume. And then you put that on over the top. And then where they do pick points, which is where they attach the like carabiners or or whatever to secure you in. It's not a caravan, but it's something like that. They'll cut holes in the costume. But the tuning fork, it was like a harness here. And usually with a harness around your waist, that's your waist, you're just being pulled up like that. But because of the way the tuning fork worked and you have to lie flat and spin around, your hips are like, it's like this. And then they squeeze you out. So your whole pelvis basically is pressed out and you just get mad bruises. Wow. I was so bruised. Wow. Yeah. That's intense. Yeah. But it was really, that one's fun, but it's quite painful.
