The National Park of Sounion Rope Jumping | Lavrion-Sounion

Flying has always been one of man's greatest dreams. The myth of Icarus illustrates, though tragically, this never-ending fascination to escape gravity. Technology and aeronautics enabled men to fulfil their dream, but the enclosed space of the various metallic crafts proved too limiting. The insatiable desireto throw one's body into the void and float on air pushed people… out of the aircrafts!

This is somehow the starting point of the story with Meteorites. This group of friends driven by a strong desire to defy gravity began free-falling from airplanes. Yet, it did not seem enough. They wondered how it would be possible for someone who lives on the ground to experience this feeling more often. So they turned to rope jumping. It is an extreme sport that involves jumping from fixed spots using special fall-arrest equipment. This kind of equipment includes a combination of static and dynamic ropes which guarantees the pleasure of jumping into the void but also a safe return.
