Swoop

During the easter break we went to New Zealand for a holiday. My wife and I wanted to do this thing where you wear a baggy suit and then jump over a propeller and then they turn on the engine and you rise up simulating a free fall like ride. There is of course a few nets metal grills to stop you falling into the blades. Anyhow, my wife went to buy the tickets and said "hey, if we do 2 rides, its cheaper by around $12" so I said, "kool, lets do it, how bout this one called swoop, looks harmless...."

So we went down to the ride and they strap us in this sleeping bag like thing with a harness. They then attach a hook to the back of the us. By this time we are lying flat. They then start lifting us by a crane. I think it was at this point we looked at each other and said.... "ops... maybe this wasn't such a good idea". By the time the crane was fully erect, I can only describe as I was the opposite. I looked at my wife and she had this "total regret, oh shit I am about to die" look on her face and I must have looked the same. I had the rip cord in my hand and was considering chicken out.... they yelled out 3....2.....1 and I thought "fuck it"....pulled the cord. So here is the video of us risking both our lifes for $12. At least it was NZ$12.

It wasn't that intense but it just wasn't what we were prepared for. That's why it was a shock. But it was pretty fun and exciting. The free fall was short. I hear that sky diving is much more intense. But after showing the video to people, I start hearing about all these injuries people have from bungie and this and its sort of putting me off.. anyway I am glad I'd tried it.
