Don't Look Before You Leap!


This is the Stratosphere's newest thing....SKYJUMP!!!
Skyjump is the highest controlled free fall in the world. Before the jump riders are prepped and suited up in jumpsuits, and are also given a safety lesson (hard to remember a word of the safety lesson when your nervous, as Mike and I found out when skydiving for the first time!).
The Rider is connected to a high speed 'decender' (whatever that is) and led to the edge of the platform. Proceed to take a step and plummet through the sky 855 feet, the equivalent of 108 floors....sounds easy enough eh?!
