World’s highest swing
« on: September 01, 2011, 10:34:14 PM »
This swing is in New Zealand, and it has a 300 meter arc with 70-meter free fall. As you can see in the video, it is made for canyons and cliffs.

The swing isn't something that hangs off of a tree branch or metal pole. You don't start it up by pumping your legs either. Strap in...drop off!

Just make sure you've filled out your insurance forms first.  :sick:

C'mon Ian - you went paragliding last year I thought...this is small potatoes compared to that.  Looks like an absolute BLAST!!  :good: :good:

I know Scott, but I never had to walk out on a ramp like that, I've not a good head for heights for that sort of thing. Not only that, but when you're hanging there it's really peaceful just gliding and taking in the panaroramic views even though you're over a mile high in the sky.

I can see Neil behind you with an eye patch and cutlass. "Har, Matey, walk the plank!"
