Ride experience 
SkyJump Las Vegas is a controlled decelerator descent. Riders of SkyJump Las Vegas are given a short safety lesson and suited up in a The Strat custom "jump suit". The rider is then connected to a patented highspeed "descender" machine and led to the edge of a small platform where they will leap out and descend the Strat SkyPod. The effect is similar to bungee jumping. Guide wires keep riders from straying off course. Just prior to reaching the rapidly approaching ground, the machine slows the rider down, bringing them to a controlled landing.
