630-Foot Base Jump By Wire

I wanted to post info about my jump right after I did it.  Well, as might be expected, in the little coastal surfer town of Raglan, NZ, there wasn't any Internet access.  But there WERE beautiful views:

SO.  Here's a picture of me prior to jumping off the tallest building in New Zealand, the SkyTower:

Now as you can see, it's pretty damn high.  We're looking down on the tops of skyscrapers here, folks. The SkyTower is the tallest building in NEW ZEALAND. 

Okay.  So on the platform, I'm good.  If you could see the video (which I left in our beautiful seaside rental in Raglan), you would see that I'm calm and excited, as this picture pretty much shows.  I'm even good jumping off the platform. 

Then it happens.  I jump, and there's nothing holding me.  There's a wire attached to the harness I'm wearing, but it's slack.  I leap out over the tops of buildings, the bay, and the very hard and unforgiving pavement below. 

For a split second, my entire body says WHAT THE F%$#?????  WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW????  YOU JUMPED OFF A BUILDING!!!!!  THIS IS NOT ON THE PROGRAM!!! And I can feel my little arms and legs beginning to twitch because they want to do that big, rotating "I'M FALLING OFF A BUILDING!!!" routine, like you see in the movies.   But the SkyJump folks do have me on a wire, so I abruptly stop falling.  Which, you might think, is better, EXCEPT--now I'm hanging 600 feet in the AIR over the hard and unforgiving pavement.

And I dangle.  And I dangle.  And I'm admiring the view.  The very, very high view of Auckland. Which I would have paid much more for if I'd hired a helicopter, but couldn't possibly improve on by being in such a vehicle.

And then I hear my trusty companion, whats-his-name, shouting at me from the platform: "Kim!  Need a photo!  Photo opp!"

So, I obligingly comply:

Now, some people say I look better with my hair down than up.  I say, you jump off of a 630-foot building, and we'll talk about my hairstyle.
