Based on the early parachute descender this state of the art up to date modern adaptation is a real heart stopper. First climb the 143 to the jumpstation. With harnesses and equipment checked you are attached on your back to the Powerfan.
Then you just step off 150ft into the THE ABYSS. Falling at 97% of gravity your heart will be in your mouth as your descent is slowed down in the last 30ft allowing you to work back on Terrafirma. What a rush. To get the full effect though climb the stairs again straight away to do it all again
