Canyon Swinging

We jumped into a Canyon for fun. The lovelly people at Canyon Swing tie a load of ropes and gadgets to you and then you jump off a cliff. Once you depart the platform you freefall 200ft down into the canyon until the ropes smoothly pendulums you into a giant 200m arc at 150kph. Whoooosh!

The Canyon. After jumping, the person disappears for a while and then reappears tini beyond the cliff miles away. You can still here the shreaking.

There are a number of different ways you can jump off - backwards, forwards, upside down, sat in a chair, tied to a baboon etc. all of which look fun. Some of us did it once, some of us twice. Was a really good adrenaline rush! My final jump was done upside down and backwards, so looking forward I could see the ground. Gulp.
Lisa falling backwards. The poor lass screamed all the way.

Emma diving. Good posture.
