A boy of about 7 is standing on the precipice of what’s called the Leap of Faith. It’s about a foot wide, just wide enough for a pair of feet, and about 20 feet high — tall enough to get your palms sweating as you grip the orange pole you climbed all the way up.

The idea is to jump — while secured in a rappel harness — from the precipice to grab a hanging black punching bag — a long, heavy bag — before rappelling, safe and sound, to the floor.
