It feels really great to be able to cross-out again something on my bucket list! Finally, I was able to fly and even swing twice on a flying trapeze at the Flying Trapeze Philippines!
Mind you Flying Trapeze Philippines, is the FIRST and ONLY full size Flying Trapeze rig in the Philippines and one of only a few in all of Asia. Measuring 32ft high by 12ft wide.
Here’s a video clip of me flying! My Flying Trapeze Philippines Experience!
Was it difficult? No. It was just like swinging on an ordinary swing the difference was instead of sitting you are hanging 32 feet above the ground!
Were you scared? Yes at first I was. The first try and the first drop is always the scariest. The fear of doing something because of pressumed danger is the hardest to overcome.But once you have gathered the courage to let go and just listen well to instructions, there’s nothing to fear at all. In fact conquering your fear and doing something for the first time is a great achievement.
Do you need strong muscles/ upper arms so you can swing or lift yourself? I think you need a strong grip and maybe stretching before you fly as it will stretch you from head to toe. If you think you are fit, no injury or other healthy issues (ask your doctor if you can do such activity, this one is somewhat extreme) you are good to go. Plus you will be asked to sign a waiver/consent form before flying, so better read it well before signing.
Is it safe? With an entire team of kind and encouraging Trapeze experts led by Will Shu guiding you all througout, there’s nothing to fear. The facility looks sturdy and safe and it looks like it can carry the biggest and heaviest person I’ve see at the scene when I was there yesterday for the San Marino Corned Tuna #WhatsNewWhatsNext event.
There’s a net to catch you when you fall, harness on both of your sides incase you fall because you didn’t grip well or your grip was bad. A cushion below the net for additinal safety precaution.
Will you do it again? Absolutely! I swung twice. For my second time up there I was able to hook my knees on the swing and let my hands go. It was super fun! I will do it again and maybe next time experience being caught by another swinger or even catch someone that would be awesome! Haha!
How and where to go if I want to try flying?
If you want to try flying, just go straight to Flying Trapeze Philippines located at the open grounds at Bonifacio Global City near Mercato BGC Tent. The one I just tried is what they called Open Swing which you can avail of. Rates for open swing is Php300.00 for 1 swing and Php500.000 for 3 swings and is open for walk-ins.
But if you are serious about flying, they also give flying lessons rate starts at Php1,000 on weekdays to Php1,250 on weekends and holidays.
