Nope.

Nope, nope, nope.

I love roller coasters and things like that, but there's no way I'd ever do this. Even if it was the safest thing in the world, I feel like just being in that harness would give me a heart attack before I dropped down.

Never.
 
Bungie is way harder. The feeling of the rope pulling you over the edge and forcing yourself to jump. The swings normally have a cord either you or they can pull depending on how scared you are. Ive only done the Taupo bungie but not the swing. I dont much like heights so was fricken scary. But that made it all the better.

I still havnt been Black water rafting yet. http://www.waitomo.com/black-water-rafting.aspx
Went white water last year which was fun even though basic smaller level rapids. Have been meaning to go kayaking through some caves with a friend and see the glow worms but haven't had time.

Tandem skydive was fun in a more relaxed sort of way than bungie.
I do miss riding bikes as I haven't done it in years. And scuba diving.

I guess Its a nice benefit to being in New Zealand if your into all these sorts of sports as they are never far away.

If I remember it right you live in UK ?
If yes then I can recommend you places to skydive if you tell me where you live, I know skydivers from all over the country since our community is quite close knit.


Here's another from a trip to Seville..I'm the one on the left wearing white.

I'm so conflicted.

Part of me wants to do it, but part of me wants to nope it. Mainly because of what happened with the swing at Cedar Point yesterday.

maybe actually tell us what happened?

Also fuck thattttttttttttttttttttttttt

what happens if a gust of wind blows you away from the cliff edge and instead of making a nice pendulum swing you get a nasty backbreaking jolt?
 
I definitely want to give this a try.
Maybe I'd regret this decision once sit on the swing, during the few seconds before the beginning of the ride though.
 
My balls jumped up into my stomach just looking at that .gif. Those girls are braver than I am.

Wonder how many Gs their pulling on the way down.
