Cool!

Even better though would be that power fan thing - did that at BAC the other week, was great craic. Step off a ledge, stomach stays behind, but still hit the ground like you jumped off a table  :)

is that the freefall thing where the big fan blows u up in the air? I'd love a go at that but would need to lose a bit of weight!  ;D

Sadly not - that would be even better - you tie on to a winch cable and step off a high ledge, but the fan thing at the top of the winch slows you to a safe speed by the ground. Still fun.
