We've talked about puting a "Tarzan" like rope from our rafters for a long time. Upon returning from a flight a while back, I found my colleagues were busy installing the nylon vine while I was gone. Above, our night gaurd Yanto is showing his stuff.
He made it look like he had swung on such an apparatus before, quickly getting high and executing a nice dive into the river.
Our visiting friends from Tarakan quickly put the rope to use also. Canadian Ben Eadie proved mass in a pendulum action makes for some high releases.
Paul C. from Tarakan is always game for something a little fun. Why just plop into the river when you can do a back-flip to a dive right off the bat. Thankfully Paul didn't hurt himself. Years ago when he was in PalangkaRaya, he broke his hand on the zipline in my yard, seriously complicating his ability to fly...i.e, it grounded him until his hand healed.
If Ben can get high, he can get even higher if Paul joins him. We even brought our maintenance table as well as a fueling stand on top of that to begin from at a higher point, adding to the potential energy.
They both executed back-flips like they had been practicing. It's always fun to play with our colleagues.
