From Wiki;

The building is topped by a 37 ft (11 m) bronze statue weighing 53,348 lb (24,198 kg)[1] of city founder William Penn, one of 250 sculptures created by Alexander Milne Calder that adorn the building inside and out. The statue was cast at the Tacony Iron Works of Northeast Philadelphia and hoisted to the top of the tower in fourteen sections in 1894.[1] The statue is the tallest atop any building in the world.[1][27][28] Despite its lofty perch, the city has mandated that the statue be cleaned about every ten years to remove corrosion and reduce deterioration due to weathering, with the latest cleaning done in May 2017.[27] Penn’s statue is hollow, and a narrow access tunnel through it leads to a 22-inch-diameter (56 cm) hatch atop the hat

She may have.

No, she didn’t.

“Hey, rando woman off the street, come walk around this tiny space 500+ feet in the air with no way to to prevent you from falling to your death when the winds up here make you lose your balance.”

The only picture you find of people walking on the hat are workers in safety gear on a scaffold when they’re cleaning the statue.
