7. SCAD DIVING

SCAD diving is a new and unique thrill ride. It is the only system in the world that allows unattached controlled free fall. The customer gets to the release level at 150 feet. The participants put on an easy-to-dress free fall harness. A crewmember activates a decent system and releases the diver after a count down. The very long free fall is completely without attachments. The customer will drop into the suspended catch air device (SCAD). The airtubes and break suspensions around the double SCAD net, stop the fall very softly. The customer feels no impact at all and the free fall experience is therefore very intense. After landing the entire SCAD device will be lowered to the ground, the customer can exit by himself and enjoy the incredible feeling of personal achievement that will surely last a lifetime. SAFETY All divers connect to the CFF Controlled Free Fall System. CFF guarantees a secure free fall position for a comfortable landing. The participant is limited in his movements and can not change his position, even at deliberate attempt. Due to the CFF System SCAD is completely safe for untrained persons. There are no special requirements for participation. The G-force ranges between 2,5 and 4. SCAD Diving is approved by the TUV or German Technical Control board and complies with all CE norms
