What’s Involved in The Power Fan Descender?
Experience a parachute jumping experience without the parachute with our fan descender! Before you climb up our 24-meter-high platform, you are fitted with a harness and a helmet and will follow a safety briefing by one of our fully trained staff. Once you’re at the top of this sky-high tower, all you need to do is step off the platform and experience a mini free-fall before our restraint system lowers you down to the ground safely using your own body weight. Although this activity involves just one step, that one step is stomach-dropping!
Who is it for?
Our power fan free-fall is for those who want to conquer their fear of heights or those who want to experience the ultimate adrenaline rush. As you step off the 24-meter tower, you’re filled with a rush of emotions from fear all the way to excitement – it’s not for the faint-hearted. By putting your trust in our restraint system, you can feel on top of the world as you reach the ground.
Adding the power fan jump to your Gripped itinerary is the perfect way to let off some steam. Whether you’re visiting gripped as a group, as a couple or for an occasion, let us help you make the day special. Our trained staff are there to reassure you during your jump, and if you feel it’s not for you, there’s no judgement here. Our team will help you down if you change your mind.
