Free fall in Himmerland
At Himmerlands Erhvervs- & Gymnasieuddannelser (HEG), education goes beyond developing future professionals in business, technology, health, and craftsmanship – it’s also about building personal courage and confidence. One of the newest initiatives in that direction is quite literally a leap into the unknown… from a height of 15 meters.
Developed, designed, and built by GoAdventure
HEG wanted to expand their existing climbing tower with new adventure elements while ensuring their staff was properly trained to operate and maintain the installations safely. GoAdventure delivered both the construction and the competency training.
We installed a giant swing where participants leap from 15 meters up and feel the rush of adrenaline as they soar through the air in a wide pendulum motion. In addition, the staff received training through GoAcademy – covering everything from safety procedures and equipment inspection to special precautions for working at height.
We also added Free Fall – an activity that gives even the bravest a thrill in the stomach: jump from the top, experience the moment of weightlessness in free fall, and then feel the secure catch as you’re gently lowered back to the ground.
Both activities can be used as confidence tests, team-building exercises, or as added experiences in an adventure park.
“It was a really good experience with professional guidance and training. Jon is extremely knowledgeable and thorough when it comes to adventure installations, and GoAdventure is easy to collaborate with. They’re passionate about understanding their clients’ needs in a down-to-earth and approachable way.”
– Magnus Kolind Mathiassen, Activity Coordinator, HEG
