Such FUN! But I am really sad to see all these fun things disappear -- the alpine slide that used to be at Gunstock, the water slide is closed for good, and now parasailing is kaputz.

WOW, that video was eye opening!

Non-locking or rated carabiners for that matter, with no attachment redundancy to the one thing that prevents you from falling. NO THANKS! It is amazing that with that level of equipment that they were ever able to get insurance, let alone a permit to operate.

Unfortunately the cost of insurance for these types of operations continues to sky rocket. As such they have to have enough good days to make it worth there while. And well in todays economy those good days just don't happen enough in an already short season here in the northeast.
