If you’re the sort who could just fall asleep anywhere, how about lying in a bed 300 meters (984 feet) above ground?
Being just a bed, this ‘hammock bed’ might be one of the mildest attractions you can find at the Wansheng Ordovician Theme Park in Chongqing, China, reputed for its thrilling features that aren’t for people with a
fear of heights—including a gap bridge, a see-through glass bridge, and a cliff swing.
A heart-stopping video taken by an employee of the park shows two women coolly resting on a hammock that’s harnessed to a rope. “Good night!” a voice can be heard calling out to them.
Luckily, it doesn’t seem like the women were meant to be there the whole night, because actually sleeping almost 1,000 feet up above with minimal support would be a nightmare. What if your phone falls on your face as you doze off, then bounces off it and takes a nosedive? What happens if you need to pee? What if a bird mistakes your agape mouth as something else and decides to “refresh” itself? So many questions.
Swaying gently with the breeze, this would make for a weightless rest—albeit a terrifying one. Talk about sleeping light.
