| - Wow, the stupid things a guy will do when a pretty gal says jump!
My friend suggested this adventure, said it would help her face her fear of heights?
in any case, as I said, there is no depth to the levels of stupidity a guy will follow just for the approval of a beautiful woman :-) wish I had a pic of her in the jumpsuit we bought for the occasion....would have any guy jumping off a building for her!
we booked a session at midnight, and it was surprisingly busy at that time
I think the views with the city lit up are best, so would recommend a night jump vs day jump
even though we had an appointment, the wait kind of s_cked, not a whole lot to do there other than watch some of the other yayhoos attempt the jump!....plus our cell phones were just about dead so we couldn't even take pre-jump pics.....boo
in any case, when we were called, they prepped us in their harness jumpsuits and shoes, put us on scale to weigh for body bag later...haha
quite a number of safety checks on ground and then the long elevator ride up....
they have a separate jump preparation area that they do another couple sets of safety checks in....better safe than sorry right?....and then you are tethered to a control and safety line
once that is done, you take walk of death out to platform to take a header off the building!
It was actually pretty nice up there and knowing you were tethered took a lot of the fear out of the adventure. I will never tire of the vegas strip at night....simply beautiful. they give you the ok, and then you are left to take the plunge on your own....no pushing!
not really a lot you can do once you've left the relative safety of the platform other than to enjoy the view on the way down. I don't think it takes you more than 15-20 seconds at most to reach bottom, so try to enjoy the short ride down!
In any case, we opted for the camera package which allows you to film yourself and the view with a wrist cam on the way down. Got a 20% locals discount too....nice!
pretty fun experience, I really enjoyed it, wish it would last a bit longer, but then again then the drop would be too controlled to get thrill from right?
will stick to skydiving, but when you don't have time for that, this is nice thrill experience!
