A few days ago I had a low flying helicopter go past my house. It had something like a ladder hanging down from it with a guy standing on the last rung!

I have no idea what this guy’s job could be???

That’s not how you do it. They had rope bridges like this in the scouts, back in the day, and the way you did it was to lightly, quickly step across. Going slowly just gave you time to feel the ropes’ movement, and think, and get scared.

This would be a huge nope from me.

Just looking at the pics is cranking up my vertigo and anxiety.

It would also be an awesome section to slip into a bike race.

—” awesome section to slip into a bike race.”

The old story about cat resonance on bridges... Yes BS.

But not this one:

That’s what I thought when I knew we were going to the Capilano hanging bridge in Vancouver, but it was FUN!
