Given the headline, I thought the cliff was going to break and send the whole thing over the edge. Imagine my surprise.
Lucky? The lucky folks are the ones who weren’t on the swing when the chain broke.
But the memories will last a lifetime.
You beat me to the punchline!

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
In Russia, swing swings you!
Looks like a ride from Action Park!
At no extra cost!
The slow mo and the song with it . . . chefs kiss . . . perfect.
I’m sure others in engineering professions have the same FMEA/Risk register kind of thoughts I do when confronted with Thrill Rides - amplified if it’s a structure that is dismantled and assembled elsewhere on a regular basis.
Rough air ahead; we’re in for some chop.
And mitigating cost was a priority you can be sure.
