SWING TIME

FROMBERG, AUSTRIA PHOTOGRAPHY: PHILIP PLATZER

The Red Bull Skydive Team took playing on the swings to a new level in the skies over Austria. Armed with a seat attached to a 125m-long rope – the ‘Mega Swing’ – Marco Fürst and his three teammates ascended in two hot air balloons for a four-second freefall, followed by half a pendulum swing and a leap from 1,800m. “It’s everyone’s dream,” said Georg Lettner, one of the skydivers. “To swing higher and higher, and finally jump off and fly.” To see the video, go to: redbull.com
