The View While Swinging 1800 Metres In The Air From Hot Air Balloons Is Stunning

Video: Remember how your heart skipped a beat when you swung just a little too high on your local playground swingset as a kid? Imagine what your heart would be doing if you rode a swing suspended from a 125m-long tether hanging beneath a hot air balloon floating 1800m in the air.

Even with a parachute strapped to your back, swinging through the air this high above the ground is going to leave your heart racing, your palms sweaty and a sincere wish that you had just stuck with the slide.
