厄瓜多尔悬崖上的秋千

It’s called the Swing at the End of the World and it could be the end of you， as this great attraction in the mountains of Ecuador lets thrill-seekers swing over an abyss without any safety measures.

Believe it or not many of the people who come here actually use it just to see what it’s like to swing into the void， and the Internet is full of scary photos of them hanging over the abyss. It’s reportedly a great way to keep yourself amused when the clouds block the view of Ecuador’s Tungurahua volcano. But most people won’t stop thinking about the possibility of one of the lines， or the thin metal beam supporting it breaking which would most likely cause the rider to fall to his death.

它，是位于世界尽头的秋千，它也可能让你丢掉小命。这个厄瓜多尔悬崖之上的秋千吸引了无数游客，寻求刺激勇于探险的人们在峭壁之巅深渊之上来回飘荡，没有任何安全措施。

信不信由你，很多人从世界各地来到此地荡秋千，为的是感受在一片虚空中飘荡的感觉。互联网上有许多在深渊之上荡秋千的图片，让人看得提心吊胆。据说当对面的通古拉瓦火山云遮雾绕的时候，在树屋荡秋千让人快乐似神仙。但大多数人会忍不住怀疑，若是绳索断了或者支撑用的金属架垮掉，坐在上面的人不就掉进深渊，粉身粹骨了吗？
