Xtreme Skyflyer

So last Saturday, I got the chance to take Hannah & her friend Lexi to Carowinds amusement park on the border of North & South Carolina. It's the equivalent to Lagoon in Utah. This time of year it is changed in to Scareowinds for Halloween! I was super excited, because I had really been wanting to do a Halloween Activity, little did I know I would be doing one of the scariest things of my life, & no, it wasn't a haunted house. It's called x-treme Skyflyer. It's a mixture of bungee jumping and hang gliding. You are taken up 150 in the air than dropped and swing going 70 mph.

Here is a visual.



For anyone that knows me, I don't do stuff like this. I can't even ride the kiddie roller coasters. But apparently, I was either having a brave moment or Hannah & Lexi are very convincing, & I decided to go. I was very hesitant, in fact, Hannah & Lexi had gone first and I was scared just watching them. Then they got done and wanted to go again & somehow talked me into doing it. Here is a crappy video I shot of when they were doing it.


Yeah, Ripley's Believe it or not, I did that! Of course when it was my turn, my camera wouldn't work and my phone was back at the place you got ready at so I have no real proof I went, expect for my being scarred for life. But really, it wasn't THAT bad. I had my eyes closed the whole time going up clear until we were 2 or 3 swings into it and slowed down. I didn't even scream up until that point, but once I started I couldn't stop. I didn't even recognize my own scream. But all in all, I am glad I did it just to say I did. But will I do it again? Probably not.
