Ever Wanted to Jump off a Building?
No, nor have we. Until we discovered Sky Jumping. The newest (and most terrifying) adrenaline sport to hit the home of white knuckle adventure, New Zealand, has been described as ‘base jumping with wires’. Thrill-seeking winners will be taken to the top of the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere before jumping off, and landing safely on a platform below. Simple, right?
Luckily, winners will be attached to a wire and with the help of a flying suit, a professional crew and ‘fan descenders’ to control their speed, they are assured an exhilarating jump that is guaranteed to end safely. Reaching speeds of 85km per hour, winners will fall straight down over 192m towards the plaza below before the fans kick in to reduce their speed. These techniques are used by professional stunt men all over the world and will lead to an effortless landing that will leave passers-by watching in amazement. Unlike bungee jumping, winners will be upright throughout and there will be no jerking or bouncing – just a straight fall and, we hope, a smooth landing! So, if you’re looking for the ultimate adrenaline prize for your next promotion or incentive, we don’t think they come much better than Sky Jumping. Just don’t ask us to try it out first…
