BASE Jumping and Slacklining on the World's Biggest Hammock
- 8 years ago
Yep, you read the title right. The Spacenet is BACK and bigger than ever. "Sketchy" Andy Lewis and his crew of Moab Monkeys gathered 80 volunteers to rig together the hammock/slackline/BASE launch pad for some seriously good times suspended above the Moab desert.
All together, the two Spacenets weigh just 100kg but they are able to support a crowd of over 15 people on there, with each of the seven 'legs' of the Spacenets monitored with dynometers to track the load, which peaked at 15Kn (that's Kilonewtons, converting to about 1,529kg of force.) How strong is it really? Strong enough that a dude decided to turn it into a big rope-swinging exit for a BASE jump.
