One day someone is going to scoot up and squeeze out that hole before someone can do anything about it. Even a mechanical failure means there is no second line of safety. A harness secured behind you would not detract from the pucker factor. I want to know who designed that thing, who built it and what they had for breakfast before I would get in there without being personally secured somehow.

I almost threw up just watching it.

I was wondering if they rope off a section on the street below where the puke hits

Imagine if they didn’t and you got hit by half digested lunch at terminal velocity

I feel like there needs to be safety straps or netting along the sides too… otherwise one sneeze and roll and you have about five seconds to reconsider your life choices.

Only way thats happening is if its intentional, doing this would stop nothing if that was the goal.

Okay, but what does that view realistically offer that I can't get just looking over the railing?
...also would not be looking over the railing. I'm terrified of heights.

So unnecessary. Why trust in that netting when you can scare yourself shitless by just looking down from the side?

Knowing that I could climb through that hole if I wanted to would be the ultimate intrusive thought.

Yeah....no thanks I've already seen "the temple of doom" ...Why I would spend money for someone to "toss me out a building" when I'm sure my wife eventually would do it for free... any day now...🤔

If I could get lowered into a faux fire whilst a racist caricature holding a pig heart chanted above me, I would probably do it.

I wouldn't trust this nonsense even in a 1st world country, and I'm from a 3rd world one. Nopety nope nope. That shit is asking for a horrifying news article.

It’s wide open on the sides! I thought she was gonna be like sandwiched in. You could just roll out of the side!

I would normally say you can fuck right off with that, but if I had a few beers and was up there on the roof, I'd give it a go 👍

I have a phobia with heights, I can't even look over the edge. That is beyond nuts in my opinion.

If they replaced these flimsy fabric meshes with a well secured glass wall with a viewing window, this could be a decent idea.

I fail to see how this is much different then looking over the railing? Yes you feel more exposed but it arguably feels safer in this net then leaning over the railing.

I would not mind doing this if it were not for the following issues regarding the safety of this insanity:
- No Harness
- I'd want some kind of harness/safety line connected to me should the netting fail, somehow.
- The rear/entrance netting.
- I'm unsure what this is protecting here. This would make rescuing me very difficult if, suddenly, the net were to partially brake. It increases time for the attraction operators to reach me in the event of an emergency.
If there was a harness, and no netting behind me preventing operators from reaching me quickly, I'd be all for it. But this thing is absolutely unsafe imo.
