If you are looking for a new adrenaline pumping ride, you are in luck. This week, Las Vegas hotel Stratosphere, unveiled 'Sky Jump', a ride that can be described aptly by a single word - terrifying.

Sky Jump riders strap themselves into a harness and jumpsuit and then, in a big leap of faith, jump off the side and pray they make it in one piece to the landing platform, 850ft. below!

The Sky Jump, which costs $100USD per ride, is the fourth attraction to open at the Stratosphere, known for its heart-stopping rides. The other three are, Big Shot, which at 1,081ft. is reputed to be the highest thrill ride in the world, Insanity, where the rider insanely hangs off the side of the tower and then rotates around it at 40 mph and X-Scream, which simulates a roller coaster falling off the side of the tower! Sounds like a fun place to visit!
