West Bloomfield Tree Runner Adventure Park might not be your first choice of activities, but you realize this aerial obstacle course is exactly what you need to shake you out of your comfort zone. After all, you've always wanted to audition for American Ninja Warrior. Here you can tighten up your agility skills, or lack thereof, by mastering the park's hardest course, comprised of zip lines, barrels, cargo nets, and bridges that connect to platforms built within the treetops. You're hooked in, harnessed up, and have been given the safety and rules rundown, and after you zip-line to your first platform, you feel invincible. You're soaring with the greatest of ease. You are Evel Knievel. You are Donkey Kong. You are ... tangled. Oh, god. You are really stuck. That tree wasn't even part of the course; how did you manage to hang yourself? OK, now you've obstructed the path of a group of employees from a tech startup who are on a team-building outing, and they are pissed. As you hang suspended from your safety harness, upside down, spinning like an idiot, waiting for someone to cut you down, you regret ever having left the comfort and safety of your bed. By the time you're released, a video of your embarrassing adventure has gone viral and you're the laughingstock of the world. Winter: 1. You: 0.
Better luck next time. Try again by restarting.
