Internal Swing Jump(360.org) - Soweto/Orlando Towers - South Africa

The world's first swing jump inside a cooling towers - a whopping 100m tall.
ORLANDO POWER STATION, in its heydays from 1964 to 1989, was one of the most advanced power stations in the southern hemisphere. Although the facility is no longer in operation, you can still FEEL THE POWER!!!
Orlando Power Station was constructed in three phases between 1939 and 1955.
Initially, the spray ponds in the dam were used to cool the steam from the boilers.
In 1951 the two cooling towers were added as additional cooling mechanisms, as the power station was extended.
At the time the cooling towers were considered to be state-of-the-art structurally, both locally and internationally.
Orlando Power Station functioned until 1998, way beyond its intended lifespan.
