they used those with a pulley to lower stuff into the basements of older buildings back in the day... if you looked directly below, youd probably see a cellar door, grating, etc...

Or you could hang a lovely planter off of it.
Or, if this was a final destination movie, entrails could be unraveled on it during a plunge off the roof.

it would be great fun to hang bush up there by his belt and throw tomatoes at him

GEO: I think it is called a trammel crane.

Glen: Agree with Joey....

b: I like the shadow
