^ lol. no, but i read somewhere that (at a fair or something) one of the bungees on one side broke/snapped, and the cage was flung over to one side up against one of the towers while still pretty high in the air. no one was hurt, but still that was prolly pretty scary. all bungees snap… you’re in trouble… especially on the way up! ---

I did the skycoaster thing once. I was pretty drunk at the time to make the $20 seem like a good deal. Fun, but probably not worth $20.
