CLAUSTROPHOBIC conditions.
Staff in the UK’s Alton Towers
Resort are being given training to
deal with the claustrophobic
conditions of the resort’s newest
attraction, the aptly named
Nemesis Sun-Terra.
The ride takes around four
minutes to complete and is made
up of catacombs, black tunnels
and lightless cramped cages, and
is designed to terrify visitors.
Whilst visitors are only in the
cramped conditions for less than
five minutes, staffers are finding
the ride much tougher, having to
stay underground for up to 8-hrs.
To help staffers overcome their
fears, the resort has hired a
contortionist trained in working
in small spaces to run
claustrophobia workshops to
help them to “zone out” their
fear in small spaces.
INJURY cannot stop the burn.
A determined Australian
bodybuilder has staged a
remarkable comeback to the
bodybuilding circuit this month,
after suffering severe injuries in a
car wreck almost a decade ago.
Forty year old Lee Sharrett had
his pelvis and sections of his
spine smashed in a car accident
which led his medical team to tell
him that he may never walk again.
Sharrett then spent three
months in hospital and a further
six months in a wheelchair, but
spurred on by determination to
compete, Sharrett, whose svelt
physique billowed out to 120kgs
during his recovery, learned to
walk again.
Sharrett then started to
progressively build his fitness
back up, and in 2005 was able to
do a 2km walk which he said
would leave him in pain for days.
Not deterred, Sharrett
continued to build himself up,
until last year he was able once
again to get back into serious
bodybuilding training.
“I broke it down into small
goals,” he said.
