Hold onto your harness—or don’t, because China’s Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is ditching ropes altogether for a bungee jump that plops thrill-seekers into a giant rainbow net 625 meters above a river, like a human cannonball at a circus gone wrong. Videos of sandbag tests went viral, freaking out netizens who pondered epic fails like missing the 160-square-meter safety net or it snapping under pressure. Priced cheaper than traditional jumps at $225, this ropeless madness offers height options for varying bravery levels, but public backlash has delayed the launch, proving that even daredevils draw the line at free-falling without a lifeline.
