  'Don't let go of the rope, right?' said Jake.
  
  I felt as if my head was going to burst right out of my personalized safety
  helmet.
  
  This couldn't be real. It couldn't be happening to me. If I closed my eyes
  maybe it would all turn into a nightmare and then I'd wake up in bed at home
  with Walter Bear.
  
  'Tim?' said Jake. 'Open your eyes! Come on. Start backing towards the edge.'
  
  I backed one step. Then another. Then I stopped.
  
  'I can't!'
  
  'Yes you can,' said Jake. 'You'll see. Over you go. Don't worry. You can't
  fall. You just have to remember, you  don't let go of the rope.'
  
  I stared at him and started backing some more. Then my heels suddenly lost
  contact with the ground. I slipped backwards and suddenly . . . there I was!
  Suspended. In mid-air. . .
