Post by: nezquick on March 08, 2012, 10:33:03 am: I can't imagine how much fun this would be - couple of mates, few beers, one sunny afternoon and this.

Post by: skard on March 08, 2012, 11:01:16 am: Was going to set up a bridge swing as I have all the equipment, but not got round to it. Done smaller ones at work (well, wide pendulums on a more rigid rope) and you're right the tickle in your belly is brilliant - like a kid on a rollercoaster for the first time.

Here's an industrial version from a job I was on in 2005...

Looks good fun, done quite a few "Flying fox" zip lines, bungee jumps and sky dives, life is short, try everything!

Post by: nezquick on March 08, 2012, 11:23:57 am: It does look really good fun! I've done zip and a small bungee and a few rope swings (also small) but one thing I would love to be able to try / do but personally don't see it happening is flysuit jumping

Voilà

worth 5 mins of anyones time to watch

First stumbled across it in August last year when my wife and I had a couple of weeks in Canada and got talking to a couple who were on their way to the rockies.
