The exciting new sport of parabouncing offers a safe an thrilling way to enjoy flying, and you benefit a host of worthy charities at the same time! One Giant Leap is the celebrity sponsored charity sonsoring some exciting upcoming activities.
What is Parabouncing?
A 20 foot diameter balloon, made from the strongest rip-stop material, is filled with enough helium (environmentally clean and non-flammable) to almost counteract your weight. Two long lines, superior in strength, tether you to the ground. Once secured in the parachute-style harness, you simply push off from the ground, allowing the balloon to slowly ascend as high as 100 feet, gracefully floating as far as a quarter mile before gently decending. It only takes a few minutes to get the hang of it, then you won't want to stop! What's better, this is not some 'quick rush' ride where the sensation is over in a few seconds, you can keep bouncing and soaring for hours!
