Mega swing in the air or How swinging becomes an extreme sport

Swinging at an extreme height

What happens when adrenaline junkies want swings on a swing? A 125 meter swing hanging from a hot air balloon 2000 meters above the ground! The four skydivers attached the highest swing in the world, instead of to a tree branch, between two air balloons 1,800 meters above the ground! And that's how the childhood dreams of all of us, who always wanted to go higher and further, came true.

Swinging with a swing is a leisure activity, but when it grabs skydivers and adrenaline junkies, it becomes extreme sport.

Only for the bravest!
Only for the bravest!

A quartet of jumpers boarded a hot air balloon and 1800 meters above the ground between two air balloons (the distance was precisely determined, as the rope had to be just right) she placed a mega swing with 125-meter rope, making it the longest and highest attached swing in the world. They were swinging at a height between 1500 and 2000 meters.

All skydivers who decided to swing at an extreme height, were equipped with a parachute, because, like us and like the children, they ended the swing with a jump, except that they themselves had much longer to reach solid ground.
