Queenstown.
The world's largest swing...that Canyon swing.
Going backwards over a ledge and falling 60 meters was scarier than skydiving (yeah, I dunno...maybe it's because the ground was a lot closer, or because I wasn't strapped to someone else in charge of making sure I ended up alive). I tried to convince the guys to push me, but they weren't having any of that, so once I stopped thinking and just let myself go, it was awesome. Had a freefall, before swinging out about 200 meters above the Shotover Canyon.
I was Carolyn the Canadian from Calgary (aka Canada), according to the crew...they almost didn't let me jump because of my medical condition. They said they would have added American to it, but the Americans would find a way to sue them over it.
Because I make decisions first, then think about them after, I decided to do the fall backwards...which was rated five outta five underoos on the scary scale.
So here's the video for it...and in my defense, I was standing there on the ledge so long because they wouldn't stop rambling on about how I was going to die (a calming technique?) and I had no idea I could go at any time...I was waiting for a one, two, three, jump sorta deal. Or maybe I just wanted more camera time:

hahaha!! You know it's scary when I give a manly yell, instead of screaming like a little girl.
You didn't know my mom in the 60s!!!
If you aren't scared by that, you've got nothing to worry about with the spiders.
Looks like fun! I would have screamed like a girl though.
