Republic of Waiver Forms

“It’s perfectly normal to jump off buildings, planes, canyons and bridges in New Zealand,” writes the Globe and Mail’s Robin Esrock. “No other country compels visitors — of all ages — to push their limits.” Esrock explains that Kiwis take great pride in their adventure activities and have successfully build a “polished” tourism industry around them. “Most activities are focused around the adrenalin capitals of Rotorua… and Queenston; consider them the Republic of Waiver Forms. Sign the dotted line, and let’s go.” Esrock gave countless activities a go, giving both Queenstown’s Canyon Swing and NZOne Skydiving a fear rating of 9/1.
