It says you can rotate so you face the ground, as if this ride needs more thrill. I don't see how that harness would let you rotate? Am I missing something? Simple curiosity, how would they rotate? Participate? No f**king way. I'd skydive or base-jump before thrill walking a thousand foot balcony in zero degree, high altitude Toronto, and I get crippling acrophobia/vertigo in the cheap seats at Minute Maid Park. Seriously. There are way too many more rewarding ways to get that risk-borne rush.
Scary for sure, but is it really any more dangerous than say, bungee jumping? <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1155592/">Watch this sh**.</a>
My palms got sweaty seeing that pic. I also have a huge fear of heights and deep waters. Imagine if that was ocean beneath that. I would die a painful death just looking.
There's a safety harness. I understand that its not guaranteed that it can hold...but safety harnesses are used plenty of times and you have a better chance of dying, walking across the street, than having a safety harness fail on you. The way the safety harnesses are shown in the picture, I'd say its pretty safe. Jumping out of a plane with a parachute, bungie jumping, etc...there are much more dangerous things than being hooked up to a safety harness 1000 ft up in the sky.
How is this any more dangerous than skydiving? I don't have a fear of heights so for those that do, is this a different fear than being in an airplane and preparing to jump out of it? or are both the same?
i think the video of that dude climbing those telephone/electrical towers is much more scary than this
