There's a little suspensionfootbridge in Wales that wobbles when you jump on it. It's fab. Especially if there's a few of you all jumping together..

Just noticed - the right hand image comes fromthis page which describes an experiment looking at Schachter's Theory.
"Some men were interviewed on an extremely unstable suspension bridge 230 feet above the Canyon (seen as a high arousal situation) and others on a solid wooden bridge over a small stream(low arousal) The men on the unstable suspension bridge had stories containing significantly more sexual imagery than those on the low bridge.
According to the Schachter theory, the reason for this is that the men were experiencing physiological arousal (probably because of the dangerous bridge) but they interpreted this as attraction towards the female interviewer (their cognitive appraisal of the situation. Dare we say, like many theories in psychology today, this is a controversial one. Despite that, it suggests some tricks you might employ to get someone attracted to you!"

This ropebridge in Antrimis slung up every summer by fishermen to get to their salmon farm. It's very scary..

Ooo, capilano suspension bridge...Good for terrorizing old people and tourists; how far can you leg it before the voice from the end cries 'no running'? Then stand back and watch the white knuckles. I'm probably going to hell of course...

Hee hee heeIt is so tempting isn't it. Only been there twice, but the voice of doom from the end sounds familiar.

Ooh! I've been there too!
I remember watching the fish in a shallow pond at the other side whilst tame squirrels scampered around, all very tranquil!

My g/f's little brotherwas on it the day it opened first time around. He was quite miffed when told to get off it as he'd been having great fun making it wobble.
