On the Top of 8 Meters...

By Jian Shuo Wang on 2007-07-31 23:45 · Baixing

Last weekend, I organized the team to attend the outdoor training in Shajiabang, Changshu, Jiangsu Province.

On of the interesting practice to challenge one’s courage is to jump over a 1.5 meter gap 8 meters above the ground. I jumped.

Pictures below are taken by York and Victor.

About the Trianing

The training was facilitated by Shanghai Freely Training. The founder, Twins, is an active member in Smiling Library. Very nice person. The training was a huge success. I would highly recommend them if you want to build the team and increase communication between the team members. Blogbus attended the training and Hengge recommended it to me.

I think this is your Outward Bound School.

Next time you engage a jump like that, never wear a short pants, make sure the life line is long enough to stay clear of the platform. The harness you use is not safe, in the event of mis-step, and a person like you is top heavy with big belly, you can easily fall through waist belt from the other side or break your spine. A Y-type harness can best protect you.

Remember, you are a father now!

Thanks stephen. For the protection, I thought it was safe enough - I have done this in Santa Cruz and in Sha Jia Bang, and they looks the same. Yes. I am a father now. But meantime, to take calculated risk, and be confident is what I learnt during the training.

Really a challenge of myself.

hi morning.... it is not easy for me to find a Chinese who knows English well enough to help me translate below into Chinese, they are some words I really want to know the English version:

1. 加油!加油!(快到终点了).

2. 你很跩耶!(这样态度对老板!)

3. 少装蒜!(你不是也想趁机踹他一脚!)

4. (两天一分没少都在睡懒觉,)我可真服你了!

Good translator! Congratulations to naruto!

— Jimmy · 2007-08-03 17:39

@naruto, let me try to translate, although it is far from correct:

1. Go! Go! Go!

Well. For the rest, it is so hard to translate. Hmmm... I give up.
