Unharnessed Fall System

The Unharnessed Fall System by Immersive Arts, is an award-winning, patented, industry-first, thrill ride which will allow riders to fall up to 9.1 meters (30 feet) and potentially higher, using a three-tier safety system but no guest harness.

Since no guest harnessing occurs, throughput capacity is greatly increased and only 1 – 2 staff members are needed for operation. The ride’s slim dimensions ( +/- 93 sm, 1,000 sf) accommodates a single guest free-fall or, can be expanded to allow multiple guests to experience free-falls at varying heights.

The fall system can be purchased with a truss and stair system (as illustrated in the photos below) or sold independently to be integrated with other platform-based attractions (i.e. rope courses, zip lines, ninja courses, climbing walls, etc.). The ride structure and components can be customized to incorporate a facility’s branding and visual aesthetic. An RFID tracking camera system can be integrated into the product in order to generate branded viral content for guests to share on social media.

Beyond traditional ride applications, the Unharnessed Fall System can be used for thrilling transportation and media-based experiences. Since the Unharnessed Fall System does not require any guest harnessing, it can be used as a safe, efficient, and unique way to transport guests to the ground floor from higher viewing platforms (or floor levels) at any destination. By utilizing sensory technologies and a 360-degree projection screen (or 360-degree LED panels) situated on/above the platform where guests lay/sit down, a fully immersive storytelling experience can unfold with a truly unexpected drop occurring at the end of the show. In addition, VR can be integrated as a standalone add-on for the ride, or the ride system can be utilized by walk-through VR experience providers to add new thrill to future offerings.
