The 19-year-old is a mail boat jumper in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, the first and only town in the U.S. where jumpers, like Torres-Rabby, deliver mail from a passenger-carrying mail boat.
This is Torres-Rabby's third summer working on the Walworth II, Lake Geneva's double-decker mail boat.
To be a mail boat jumper, you need to be athletic, agile and willing to perform in front of hundreds of tourists.
Lake Geneva Cruise Line offers tours of the mail boat at 10 a.m. every day, which lets people follow the jumpers along their route.
"It doesn't happen often, but it's a rite of passage," Sid Pearl, a mail boat jumper of five years, says.
