I'm deathly afraid of heights. What we do for love.
My first date with a longtime chat friend included her Groupon gift to me riding down the Fremont Experience on the zip line.
After signing the waiver for accidental death or dismemberment, you tuck away all your earthly belongings and take the march up several flights of metal stars. Once you arrive, specific instructions are given to you. So many, I cannot remember.
The kind staff suit your harness up and then you wait.
You are waved on to a few more steps and then the hook up to the line. Hanging or rather dangling above, you receive the final last words.
"We you reach the end of the line, lift your feet and legs up. Someone will catch you."
WTF?
Zoom and off you go!
It's really not scary once you are barreling down the lengths of six football fields. Passers by on the ground look like ants and are cheering you on! The flickering lights enhance the experience and it is thrilling.
Yeah, at the end are these huge dudes that catch you!
