The world's scariest swing?

[Jazzy]

A swing which shoots out 1,300ft above the Colorado River has to be among the world's scariest white-knuckle rides.

The Giant Canyon Swing is the main attraction at Steve Beckley's Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, Colorado.

But Mr Beckley is the last person to ask for advice about the 50mph swing - he's only dared try it once.

He asks visitors to sign a waiver declaring that he is not to blame for any "falls, injuries and/or death" before they go on the ride.

Would you try it?

Probably. Ive went on swing rides that lifted me high enough for me to plunge to my death before, of course I wasn't 1300ft up, but what difference does that make.


I went on this one a couple summer's ago: http://www.sixflags.com/discoveryKingdom/rides/SkyScreamer.aspx

@Nebulous: That SkyScreamer looks like a baby ride compared to the Grand Canyon Swing!

Yeah it was kind of lame but if I fell out of there, I'd probably be dead.

Well that doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence...
Nonetheless, looks like a nice view. Yeah, I'll try it.
