Big Rush Big Swing
Swing both ways - The Big Swing is the only stadium swing in the world, and the largest of any kind, anywhere. Over 2500 heroes have thrown themselves into the void 106m above the pitch and swung out in a 220m arch. Disabled jumper Dave Tate did it, Steve Fisher did it in a kayak and city manager Mike Sutcliffe got some help doing it from a Durban citizen who entered a radio competition and won the right to push Mike off the edge. R595 per person.
