ABSTRACT:
A vertical tower which participants ascend by means of an internal stairway. At the top of the tower there are several horizontal arms. Each participant walks through a horizontal arm to its open, outward end. The participant is then connected to a resilient band that is also attached to the horizontal arm. Subsequently, the participant leaps from the open, outward end and undergoes dampened vertical oscillations before being lowered to the surface of the earth. The stairway and multiple horizontal arms permit multiple participants to use the device simultaneously and to repeat rapidly the experience. Numerous safety features are employed to prevent injury to the participants.
