Watch: Two lucky women are swinging near a cliff when it breaks and sends them over the edge.

Lucky? The lucky folks are the ones who weren’t on the swing when the chain broke.

Several years ago, I went on a tour in the Daintree rain forest in Australia. Towards the end of the tour, we were offered the chance to swing out over a valley like the one in the video in a ‘flying fox’ rig that was usually used for hang glider training. We ran out of time before my turn came; after seeing that, maybe I’m thankful O_O

And mitigating cost was a priority you can be sure.
