Stratosphere Sky Jump




For a $100 you can jump off the Stratosphere, the tallest structure west of the Mississippi. That little dot in the top photo is someone screaming on the way down.

  1. Don't you mean they pay you? A lot?

  2. Correction: You can jump off for free. However, if you want to use their safety harness apparatus that makes the trip survivable, that will cost you $100. :-)

  3. Rakewell: very funny. Correction: you can jump off for free or, rather, the $15 they charge you to go up there.

  4. Whatever floats your boat, I guess, but I think I could do without a jump! I took a hot air balloon ride that was terrific and like floating in the air in a way, but I think I'll pass on this one. Hell, I'm too old to even ride in the elevator that far up! Fun post! I love it! Hope you have a great week!

  10. Even the thought of jumping off of this structure makes my head swim and my stomach curl up in knots. It does make an interesting set of photos. Thanks for sharing.
