Okay, your 150 ft up with no ropes or bunjee cord, you swing tentatively out into mid air - you look down, there's a net in the distance, you look up and the clip releases!
Suspended Catch Air Device (SCAD) diving is a new high for adrenaline junkies dropping you 150ft into a safety net with no protection or attachments, just you & up to 4 G's!
So How Does It Work?
Well you step into a harness, then you and up to 8 people are winched 150ft into the air. From the platform you clip into the Control Free Fall system, that ensures a safe free fall position, and swing out! Around about this point your adrenaline will be pumping so hard you won't hear the controller release the clip but you'll definately feel the enormous G-Force as you accelerate to up to 70 mph. A safety net supported by airtubes ensures a soft landing. Interested yet???
SCAD diving has the obvious attraction of raising money for a charity and the number of locations sporting these devices is on the up - the nearest one to us (Wales) is at the old WICC, now E2. So if your looking for a high then this is definately worth your time! However, in most cases these days will only run if there is sufficient interest prior to an event so if your gona take the drop it might be best to convince some others to have a crack too!For more detailed information on booking, safety and general info. try this site:
