Two skydivers from Australia have been banned from their world record attempt by Parks Australia. Heather Swan and Glenn Singleman wanted to dive from a hot air balloon 12,000 metres above Uluru (more commonly known as Ayers Rock) and then fly for 30 kilometres using special wingsuits. However, Parks Australia, which looks after Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, has denied their request because “disembarking and landing in a Commonwealth reserve is not allowed”. In an interview with ABC, Ms. Swan said that their world record attempt would be good for tourism in the area because “the footage is going to be shown on television screens around the world, so it would be great to have that sort of image going out to international audiences”. In my opinion, if they’re not touching Uluru, what’s the harm in diving from a hot air balloon above it? And it probably would boost tourism!
