You step off the edge into a 83 meter pendulum arc that screams across the gorge at 130 km/h, with 3.2g of centripetal force pressing you into the harness. Mohan Chatti's rugged canyon yawns below. Go it alone, or strap in next to a buddy. The twin Dyneema ropes carry AS/NZS 5848 certification, so the gear's been checked.
The drop pin release clicks, gravity grabs you, and the fall turns from straight down into a wide horizontal swing. Then 3.2g of centripetal acceleration kicks into your gut. That's the mechanics of it.
Thing is, a bungee jump stretches elastic latex cords up and down, vertically. The Giant Swing in Mohan Chatti works nothing like that. You sit upright on the 83 meter cantilever gantry, looking straight out over the canyon, and you swing on non elastic high tensile twin synthetic lines. One big pendulum, suspended over the gorge.
The Jump Master hits the pneumatic release and you drop. Initial freefall hits 1.5 to 2.0 seconds of pure vertical gravitational acceleration, $a = g$, no harness tension yet. Then the 83 meter static lines go fully taut, arrest the plunge, and convert that vertical kinetic energy into a sweeping horizontal pendulum arc. You swing the entire width of the canyon. It's a smooth handoff, but you feel every newton of it.
a_c = v^2 / r | F_net = m * (g + v^2 / r)
Linear velocity at the bottom of the swing sits around 36 m/s, or 130 km/h. Pendulum radius is $r = 83\text{ meters}$.
Centripetal forces peak at 2.8g to 3.2g at the bottom of the arc, delivering an intense, body-hugging gravity surge without spinal shock.Pick your poison. Solo leap if you want the raw thing. Tandem if you've got a partner who also needs to scream.
The Solo Swing strips everything back. You're alone over the abyss, every nerve locked on the countdown. Pin pops and you dive into the canyon with nothing between you and the fall, just 130 km/h of wind in your face and 3.2g shoving you sideways. Pure sensory overload.
The Tandem Giant Swing is built for couples and best friends, and it's the premier version in Rishikesh. Two jumpers go into adjacent tactical harnesses, both linked to a load distribution spreader bar. You leap together. You scream together. Worth it.
Stuck between the two? Compare the drop geometry, harness setup, g force load, and how scared you actually want to be.
