PARACHUTES MIGHT BE A BETTER IDEA?

I think I might even give walking a miss along there.

I'd seen the second one before, but it still had me cringing in some of those spots.

As for the guys on the push bikes, a friend of mine in the USA suggested they may have had small parachute packs on, but even if they did and had to use them, chances are Mr Shark could be waiting downstairs  :eek

Even the landslide sections would be treacherous.  I saw the Red Bull logo.  That explains what they'd been drinking!

I think they were lost and couldn't turn around.

Although they appeared to be speaking German, I think I heard one of them talking about an old Indian Tribe that used to walk the trails called the "Where the heck r we" tribe.

I saw them also looking at a sign post on the track that had faded a long time ago.

Why else would you go there ?
