To reach the top of the slide, you have to catch the handle (hanging bar) without any safety belt or anything. Isn\u2019t that scary??<\/p>\n<p>The handle slowly takes you up and up!<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yokoso-shinjuku.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/niagara-drop2.jpg\" alt=\"nagara-drop1\" width=\"550\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Start!
