Stick to the top deck of the Willie T. tops are optional! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.

Years ago, if you went on the Stormy Petrel/Pirate's Penny tour of the Baths, they ended up at the top of a HUGE rock, at least 50 feet <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />, and had to jump off to get out of there. I wouldn't be surprised if they have stopped doing it. It sure seemed dangerous to me. I'm a chicken. But I did it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

Man, I used to do some stupid stuff when I was younger. One little slip up and you're in for a long end to your vacation. Stick to the Willy T and leave the stunts to the dumb kids....
Fast enough to get there, slow enough to see.

Lew said: I thought the platform on the "Willy T" was gone. I jumped off the upper deck of the Willy-T last year... straight off the stern. There was no platform. Had to climb over the rail and teeter on the lip of the deck. It's about 15-feet or so, and loads of fun! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Then you swim around to the ladder on the dingy dock tied to the side, only to find that there's no lower step on the ladder anymore. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> I still managed to clamber up at 250lb.

Notice the marks/scars on the kids in slide #16 ....and that the people in the water are standing with heads above the water in the water that is being jumped into...making that too shallow for my taste in regards to jumping in from the top of that rock. I'll stick to the shot-ski and deck/rail at Willie T's <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

Hi Stoney - actually the damage to the kids wasn't from rock jumping (I won't do it either) but rather from the surf in Spring Bay - they were getting quite a tumble. cheers Brian
