Incredible facts

Thrill-seekers who want to tickle their nerves can go to a small American town Glenwood Springs in Colorado. It was there, on the edge of the canyon, that there was a swing that was not for children at all.

Attraction" Giant Canyon" (Giant Canyon Swing) at the Glenwood Caverns amusement park is located on the slope of a cliff at an altitude of 400 meters over the Colorado River.

The swing can accommodate four passengers, swinging them 112 degrees above the horizon at a speed of 80 km per hour. Once at the highest point, extreme sports enthusiasts can gaze at the almost endless cliff opening below them.

The swing's creator, Steve Beckley, tried the ride just once, but was so scared that he didn't dare try again.

However, as Beckley admitted, he gets considerable pleasure from watching people’s faces and hearing their heart-rending screams during 60 second ride.

The original version of the attraction was, in the opinion of the creator, not extreme enough, and did not send passengers far enough into empty space.

Therefore, in 2011, he decided to install a longer pneumatic machine, thanks to which visitors have the opportunity to experience the full range of emotions from intense excitement to horror.

Before using the swings, everyone must sign a disclaimer stating that "this activity may result in falls, injury and death". Children and teenagers under 18 years of age are admitted only upon presentation of a document signed by their parents or guardians.
