The platform smells faintly of metal and river mist. You step into wind that the Zambezi teases out of the gorge, a constant rough breath that seems to push you toward the edge. Harness snug, helmet in place, instructor counting down — then you are launched, weight and velocity becoming a single motion. For a heartbeat the gorge holds you, then the world narrows to a ribbon of cable and the river daring you below.
