Did something similar, but not quite as extreme as that, in Switzerland, and it was incredible.

I've bungee jumped before myself but nothing even close to that. I'd be interested to know where they are and exactly how high of a jump that really is.

This is a little different. Its a straight free fall then you get shot forward at (they said) 60+ mph. I think the free fall was 250 feet.

That is odd. I see it on my end.

As for high dives and diving platforms, I love diving. Too bad nowadays most places won't even allow diving because of liability fears.

So if that's 250' on the one you did, I wonder how high the one in the gif really is?

I found this on their website:

quote:

Swing Stats:
The World's Biggest Swing
300metre Arc
120m rope length (That's longer than a rugby field!)
160m above the river
Swing options: Forwards, Backwards, Tandem, truck'n trailer, 69, back2back, Honeymoon & much more.


It's also $180 to go solo and $160 per person to go tandem. Kind of pricy.
