Asphalt bound at high speed - Jump Macau Tower

Asphalt bound at high speed, Rosie Ramsden

.

AJ Hackett opened the world's highest sky jump, falling outside the rim 233m Macau Tower in 2006. You can also jump off the Macau Tower - Yes, ie luxury dive into the asphalt at sixty miles an hour.

A hybrid of bungee jumping and parachuting, sky diving is air travel controlled and did not involve a jolt or hung upside down, ending with a soft landing at the base of the tower. The system is governed by a brake cable and the fall takes 14 seconds. The opening jump was completed with Mr. Hackett, New Zealand, on December 17, 2006. His career as a tester for installation of sky-diving began that day and luckily can continue, due to have gotten their sums right.

Dare-devils dressed in specially tailored suits and the wires connected to three thus ensuring absolute safety. About 10 meters above the ground, the cable drum switches down speeds to allow a soft landing. Unlike a jump bungee, Sky Jump is a controlled air travel, so it will not recover and will not end upside down. Nor is there any possibility that the cable wrapping around his own neck as has happened with the bungee bridge at least one.

I had a great experience in the Great Tower in Macau and would like to share with you. When my dad asked me what he should do on your day off in Macao, I said I wanted to see the sights, one of which is the Macau Tower. I knew nothing of the jump, so you can imagine my surprise when I looked up to see someone sinking to the ground from above. "Wow?" Dad! "That's amazing. I want to have a go" I said, pulling his shirt as I realized what was happening. "I thought I would," he said as he fished for his wallet. A little later, as an assistant helped me to enter a harness and tightened the straps, I saw the orange jumpsuits walk around the deck outside as if it were the formation of a moon walk. A Chinese man has the suit before me and I saw him enter the pit crew, then be guided out of the place where the jump door. A crew member took the "big man" (A set long, thick wire wrapped in material) and connected to a loop at the back of the man. After the checklist led the man at the door.

He told the bridge 50 meters stopped his fall to take a photo and asked that the bridge back at him. The man nodded, looking as if he did not dare speak for fear of emitting a cry of United Nations-male. The employee opened the door and led man to the edge. Do not hesitate and went in seconds. I doubted whether it would be so brave. I felt the adrenaline into my heart as I took a deep breath trying to control the growing fear of knowing it was my turn. I went out. Once on the deck, the crew member said "Do not worry, Losi, is" Sure, calling my name in the usual way of Asia. Its used to find it sooooo annoying that Asia can not pronounce my name "Rosie", but I changed my attitude when our Filipina nanny said he could not pronounce his name correctly either. Shouted the list again and asked, "Are you ready?" But he was not really after an answer so I had time to open your mouth and say

"No, definitely not, I've changed my mind do not worry about a refund, I want to go down the way slow. I mean, I can not feel the wings sprouting from my shoulders, so I can not fly, right, so this is nonsense. I could be a young British woman, but what I look like ***** AB BIRD?

He opened the door and told me to put my hands on the top bar of the railing as the door opened before Me. I did, but I realized I really had changed his mind and was not going to jump - in no way, Jose. "Look there, Losi, look at Hong Kong," said crew member, pointing out where my sister was born. "You're going to be well. Trust me, "he assured me. "No. It does not feel right. Do not want to do this," he said, standing on deck with the door wide open.

The crew member tried to reassure me, closing the door and talk some calm back to me. I did not hear - the filling only thought in my mind, increased by the blood pulsing almost audible in the temples, was to jump from the tower was suicidal. Life suddenly seemed even more beautiful than before, I was too young and I thought much too beautiful to die. Besides, I never had children, has never been rock climbing in Krabi, never seen a sunset from the base camp of Annapurna, only Boyzone is nineteen times concerts.

This was very different from jumping from an airplane in Australia. That seemed just a bit silly, since the airoplane was perfectly serviceable and had no appointments particularly acute in the field. A member of the crew continued to try to reassure "We Losi, do not want to come here and reverse, "he said.

Before he could give voice to my objections I heard the sound of applause and realized that everyone in the top floor had gathered behind us and I was encouraging. "Please do not do that," he said, waving weakly at them while smiling weakly. More fear of shame to go back to the dangers of proceeding, I turned around, faced the open space and leaned forward. The cable stopped after 50 feet to the operator to take my photo. "Look," he shouted from above while suspended hung down. "I can" I shouted again, "My head does not rotate that far. It is impossible, my neck is not enough. Who can do that, anyway, I mean, how many giraffes bags skip this thing? "The cable was released and began a pleasant descent, slowing to about 30 feet from the bottom and the soft landing on the feet, just the target. Dad's eyes were the first things I saw as I arrived at the airstrip. He laughed out loud a little nervous, probably relieved that everything was over. I suddenly realized how much he loves me, he was willing to stand to see me doing something stupid was scared of him.

Our Conductor Andrew greeted me at the start. "You crazy lady. His dad says there's nothing like being tall, why do you bound?" He asked. "Because I wanted overcome fear, "he said. Today, the spectators on the floor had given me the courage to go out of shame with me to avoid fear. Andrew asked Daddy why not go well. "I have no desire to do things well," he replied. "I'm old enough to not need to worry about things to prove." The it is brave? To jump or not jump. Which is more brave? The jumping or not jumping? AJ Hackett, once chided reporters. "You must go before inform "he said. So now, after having completed the same feat, I feel I have earned the right to ask:" If you're young, do you have what is needed? If not, is the only reason you would not feel you do not have to bother? "
