CLIMBING-WALL AND PENDULUM-FALL, SWING APPARATUS AND METHOD
A climbing wall defines vertical, transverse (horizontally in-and-out, toward-and-away-from wall) and lateral (horizontally sideways) directions, mutually orthogonal. A surface treatment simulates rock by texture, holds, or both. A line (rope, cable) extends from a belay anchor, spaced away from the wall, to a climber at the wall. Line distance is controlled to eliminate slack to start, and continuously if the wall is increasingly steep and possibly curving sideways (laterally). When climbing ends, the climber swings transversely (and, optionally, laterally sideways) away from the wall in a pendulum fall, swinging (oscillating) about the belay anchor for multiple cycles and clear of contact with the wall. The fall may be intentional (the climber releasing a grip on the wall), accidental (falling from own weight), or due to line tension initiated by an automated timer or operator intervention.

Virtual reality bungee trampoline
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method and computer program product for a virtual reality bungee trampolining. In one embodiment, a virtual reality bungee trampolining system includes an enclosure, a trampoline disposed within the enclosure and a bungee fixture disposed between the trampoline and a ceiling of the enclosure. The system further includes a virtual reality headset coupled to a mobile computing system that has a wireless network adapter, at least one processor, memory and a display. Finally, the system includes a virtual reality experiential module disposed in the memory of the mobile computing system and executing by the at least one processor. The module includes computer program instructions enabled during execution to perform rendering a virtual reality environment in the display while the virtual reality headset is affixed to an end user harnessed to the bungee fixture over the trampoline.
MOBILE BUNGY JUMP APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME
Embodiments of the invention provide for a mobile bungy jump apparatus which comprises a wheeled vehicle, e.g. truck, and a jump-off platform carried by the wheeled vehicle through a retractable apparatus coupled to the wheeled vehicle, wherein the jump-off platform retractable apparatus is configured to at least move between a non bungy jumping position and a bungy jumping position, and wherein retractable apparatus includes a jump-off platform and a rigging frame or equivalent to which a bungy cord tethering a bungy jumper may be attached.
AN ASSEMBLY OF A FRAME COMPONENT AND A BUNGEE COMPONENT ADAPTED FOR CONVERTING A TRAMPOLINE INTO A BUNGEE TRAMPOLINE
An assembly of a frame component and a bungee component adapted for converting a trampoline into a bungee trampoline. The trampoline includes a sheet of fabric or canvas attached and distended to a frame having a perimeter and at least three legs distributed along the perimeter of the frame, each leg having an elongated straight leg part, the frame component including at least three frame poles and an circumferential upper frame, and each frame pole having an upper pole part with an upper pole end connected to the upper frame and a lower pole part with a lower pole end, the lower pole part of the frame poles is mounted to the elongated straight leg part of the legs by brackets so that the longitudinal axis of each of the frame pole is parallel and not coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the corresponding straight leg part.
Portable Descent Platform
A portable descent platform for users descending from a rope or elastic cord. The descent platform is engaged upon a planar bed of a powered motor vehicle in a pivoting engagement allowing extension of the platform from the vehicle and numerous angles. The platform may have a first portion in a translational engagement with a second portion to allow for distance adjustment of a distal edge of the platform toward and away from the vehicle and may also include elevational adjustment of the height of the platform.
STEP MOVEMENT TRAINING DEVICE
The present invention includes a first main body and a second main body which are abutted with each other by sides thereof, and the abutted sides of the first main body and the second main body are kept to not deviate from each other by a combination manner. The second main body is movable relative to the first main body along a straight direction to form different usage types for training various step movements.
