As if freefalling into a canyon for 8 seconds weren't enough, the rubber band keeping you alive is attached to a suspended gondola. Not to mention, the cable car taking you out to the gondola has a see-through bottom (which is basically the equivalent of AJ laughing at my fear as he's been doing this since I could walk). I'm sure some reading this have taken the plunge, but for those who haven't and weigh less than 300lbs (at least that was the weight limit at Nevis...Sorry Fat Joe you're going to have to lean back from this one) I highly recommend it. The "Holy crap i'm going to die" adrenaline rush will be your biggest yet (unless you have already faced and beaten death). I only wish they had a bench press in the cable car so you could do a before/after max weighlifting test. I honestly think you could lift about 30% more afterwards. Anyways, sorry Mom and check out the videos after the jump. I now have Shark's video up, Cael's should be on the way. In terms of jumping form, Shark is the obvious #1 and I am clearly the worst. Also, in case you were wondering, they offer complimentary diapers and changing station at the site.

I am so glad your momma did NOT know you were doing this ahead of time! However, I must confess from the video that it looked like a lot of fun. One question -- did you jump or were you pushed?
