"Mega Swing" swinging from an altitude of 1,800 m with a 125 m long rope attached to a swing

Some people dreamed that "I want to ride this huge swing someday" when I saw a long rope-using swing in the theme song of Alps girl Heidi, but in order to make such a childhood dream come true , People who realized "the longest swing in the world" appeared.

People who walk toward the balloon.


It seems that it was not "the best environment" to fly a balloon this day, but the pilots skipped two balloons while being kept at an exquisite distance.



Rise to the sky high.


A man holding a rope in his hand and sitting on the edge of a gondola ......


I will leave the gondola. The man is sitting on the wooden board, exactly "swing" itself.


Looking at it from a distance, it looks like this. The man fell from the red balloon.


Because the 125 m rope is connected to the blue balloon, the man will swing like a real swing around the blue balloon.


Red smoke from the foot of the man is the path of the swing.


Looking from the top like this.


If the swing gets shaked ......


Jump there.



from a different angle.


A man leaving the gondola.


There is a dream indeed how to swing over a vast land over there.



Next time to stand.


The last is away from the swing ......


Landing in parachute.


Before actually swinging, there seems to be a voice saying "Does this really work as a swing?" However, as the free fall continued for a while away from the gondola, the rope was felt tightly stretched at a certain moment about. From there the speed accelerated even though I was not using a motor, and it seemed that I got experience of "swing" completely different from free fall. If it is a helicopter or an airplane, a loud sound will be heard at the moment of gliding, but in the case of a swing it slips sideways, but I hear that only the sound of a balloon fire burns. It seems that the point where the glide is very quiet was unique.

Incidentally,Yahoo! ChiebukuroThere is a reply saying "The speed of a swing that Heidi is riding is 68 km", "When Small Musume, around 10 years old, when did you train your body so far?", Even with a giant swing actually done It was told that "It was the most difficult to stay on the board."
