The Thrills

The first picture is from this summer at the waterpark on cliffhanger. The second one was of my friend jumping off of the Waimea rock at Waimea Bay after the Cholo's ocean swim.

When we started to talk about free fall and acceleration I thought, "Wow I wonder what it would be like to be that ball that we always talk about." Later I realized that I have experienced free falling. Even though there is water and a slide on the cliffhanger, when you actually come down it, your butt is actually not touching the slide, well for me it wasn't, at least not until you get to the bottom where you get a bad wedgie =P. Also, in the cliffhanger there is water to help give you this free fall experience since the slide is not exactly vertical. Still, in the cliffhanger, you do experience some sort of free fall. As for the Waimea rock one, you do experience free fall. You are falling straight down and there is nothing to guide an angle to fall. These two things give us instant thrills and make fun experiences which is ironic because some people say that they wish they could fly but stupid gravity is stopping them. Yet, gravity does have its way in the fun department of life ^.^
